Setting up another PC
I currently run sage on an XP machine in one room, have an HD100 hardwired to the living room. I am setting up a HDTV and PC in the basement. Can I somehow bridge the connection at the HD100, and run a CAT5e/6 cable to the basement, buy a placeshifter license and watch HDTV from the HD-PVR I just ordered?

You could put a gigabit switch in the living room and connect your basement drop and the HD-100 to it. You will probably want the full client license on your basement if you want to watch the H264 recordings from a HD-PVR on it.

Thank you, with a "switch" can I use both the HD100 and the PC client at the same time? Or do I have to "switch" back and forth?

All at the same time. How do you have the server connected to the internet? Do you have a router? Router's usually have built in switches (sometimes hubs). If not, you can put a switch in between your internet connection and server and connect everything to that.

Yes it should.
I had some issues running ethernet wires to some parts of my house that using a switch solved nicely. 2 separate rooms each have a single ethernet cable running back to my main 8 port gigabit switch which is connected to my router. Each of these rooms have their own 5 port gigabit switch with a computer and an MVP on each of them. I have not experienced any bandwidth issues while running everything at once. |

While I agree that a gigabit switch makes sense you should have no trouble with a 10/100 switch as well as long as you only have 2 devices connected. Even a full HD stream is only 20 Mbps so 2x20=40 so you still have lots of headroom with 100 Mbps capability. If you have a spare router around you could probably use that as most routers are also 4 port switches - just remember to disable DHCP on the router.
