I emailed for a quote and they sent me this as an attachment.

I am new to HTPCs so I am wondering about these. Does SageTV work on them?

[IKK]

In looking for a settop box I came accross these. Basicly they are a mini-itx motherboard so I see no reason why they would'nt accept a windows operating system and Sagetv. I really stop persuing the settop box idea with the anouncement of MediaMVP. I decided to go with a Homethearter PC in the livingroom and a small mini-itx system which I built myself in the bedroom so I can also surf the web. I will use the Media MVP boxes in anyother room needing access to Sage.(sparebedroom and or kitchen even the garage)
