Just upgraded my system

And fried my PVR250 in the process
And the freshly rma'd WD 500gig sata hd as well

Well, on the bright side I dared loading the March 20 version of the HDHomeRunManager and was pleasantly suprised. Nice upgrade.

Now that I can transcode HD to high quality for the MVP I noticed that it's actually not worth it the additional load on the cpu: Standard to High is like 40% to 60% load on average, but I have a hard time noticing any difference on my 42" plasma.

So, one could say I just wasted all that money for the new equipment (while destroying some more in the process).

Here are my actual conclusions:

1. The HD extender rules. I mean, if it ever sees the light of day.
2. Sage rules - needs (almost) no hardware and very little memory.
