Suggestions to Sage re: HD-200
I have bought three of these and while I generally like them I would like to provide a few suggestions to Sage on how they can be improved:
__________________
New Server - Sage9 on unRAID 2xHD-PVR, HDHR for OTA Old Server - Sage7 on Win7Pro-i660CPU with 4.6TB, HD-PVR, HDHR OTA, HVR-1850 OTA Clients - 2xHD-300, 8xHD-200 Extenders, Client+2xPlaceshifter and a WHS which acts as a backup Sage server |

All great suggestions. I doubt they'd save much money by not including the cable though - possibly a dollar?
I'm with you on all of the other ones though. |

Blinking green light
I just installed my HD-200 yesterday. I used a mini hole punch and some electrical tape to make a black dot to put over the green light. Now it only looks like it has a red light that works like my old SD extender.
Otherwise, it's working great. I suppose I am one of the few that got this for SD use. I wanted to be able to view all of the channels I can get via QAM Cable and ATSC antenna, and prove out my system for a future TV purpose. However, I didn't use the cables either because I was simply taking out an SD extender.

From an environmental point of view, I'd advocate not including batteries and telling people they should be using rechargeables. This would have been easier had the remote been using AA instead of AAA (which the majority of people might not already have in NiMH flavor). Quote:

One might also make an argument for an IR blaster port on the Theater. That would allow it to control an amplifier and/or TV. However, this is easily solved by a universal remote with macro capabilities (even if those macros are mostly hidden from you, like with the Harmony products).

Awesome festus I did exactly the same thing. But I must admit this isn't the first device I own with little electrical tape dots over the flashing lights. Why does every device I own think it needs to have flashing lights, most of them even when the units are off. I flipped the light off in the den one night and it looked light Christmas, which is when I started my electrical tape rampage.
The worst is the Rovio. If you put it on the charger it has super bright blue LEDs all the way around it that pulse as its charging. So if you want it to be autonomous and roam around on a schedule you have to put up with the whole room flashing blue all night. |
