Although cute size wise, I'm not sure I'd call it a HD "extender". At that price and hardware level, you are talking about a full featured client PC. A 'real' extender like what the D-Link DSM-520 "could" have been is under $200 and has HDMI onboard. It's not capable of running any other software than the Sage client specific to it.
Oh well, the wait continues.... -PGPfan

Looks very cool, but seems kinda expensive at $1199 considering the Mini USB2.0 HDTV Tuner is only $60.00.

might as well get a mac mini at that price.
actually come to think of it acer is making some pretty small footprint aspire models now - saw one at compusa last week. they had a core solo 3.2ghz model for $599 and i think the core2duo model was $849? here's a product link. http://global.acer.com/products/desktop/asl100.htm
