So for example you could load up SageTV on WHS, drop on one of the customizations that supports metadata from DVD Profiler or IMDB, and the Sage server would collect and store that information, and provide it to every extender on the network. All extenders would have access to the same set of information. Honestly, there's not a lot of point to running SageTV on a PC with the HD200 if you have no intention of using the PVR features. That said, it's quite possible (depending on how the reception is for non-TV users) that you'll have to use SageTV on the PC to get access to all the cool addons like SageMC. Quote:

Excuse the ignorance if this should be a SageTV question and not an extender question but can this new extender upconvert nonprotected ripped DVD's when played? I've only been using Sage server connected directly to my TV and it doesn't look as if it upconverts. Again this may just be ignorance but when I used to use VMC it looked as if the quality looked a little better - so upconverted.
Don't get me wrong, I love my current setup but this is one of the features that I (think I) miss. |

Any chance that the "stand alone" mode of the HD200 can be controlled by third party applications? For example, currently home automation users (CQC/MainLobby/etc.) can launch playback on the HD100, control it and so on, but that's going through the SageTV server...

Also ordered this morning and received my tracking number this evening. I started planning a SageTV system back this past summer, but when the Extenders sold out in August, I put it all on hold. Guess I get started again since I should have three HD200's next monday.

I've been a Sage customer since 2004, and I've just donated another $200 to the cause. Can't wait! Roll on Santa!

I'm actually a little upset with Sage on this . Here in the Mountain time zone this was available on their web site on 11/30. They said it would be December and that wasn't true.
Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy one until January. I hope they will have stock then. |

OK, I feel a little stupid posting this; however I don't understand everyone saying the HD-100 does not support 1080p. Did I miss something?
I have always had my HD-100 in 1080p mode. I have never used 1080i mode. I can watch HDHR recordings, HD-PVR recordings, .mkvs in 1080p, BD rips, etc. and I have minor problems but they all work 98% of the time. I have always thought the 2% was firmware related, not hardware. From the day I installed my HD-100 it has been in 1080p mode. I have confirmed this by checking the display on my Sony 60" RP SRDX TV. Now the 1 semi-major problem I have with .mkv files is the rewind sometimes does not work.

I'm with you, I'm not 100% convinced the HD100 can't handle high-bitrate H.264/VC1, still seems like there's a bottleneck in the pipeline to the HD100 since you can usually pause/skip back and that section will be OK. |

Ahh, that's too bad. I get really frustrated with the HD100 when it does that 5 second connecting thing instead of just starting right up. Are you saying that every single time you turn on the 200 it's going to do that little 5 second thing? Why wouldn't they just do it the same way it is now - leave it up to the user to decide whether they want to go to the settings menu or just load up the STV right away?
