A few nags/questions about HD200 used in Placeshifter mode

[voidpt]

Just had a little fun trying out the HD200 at my folks place by connecting it to my own SageTV server (through the HD200 Placeshifter mode). But there are a few negative things I haven't figured out, and before I submit bug/feature request I just want to check it out here in the forum.

First. When I connect with 'software' Placeshifter on a PC I can adjust the streaming manually and lock it (manually) to a bitrate and so on. This does not seem possible on the HD200. Two things, if this is the case. I have absolutely always gotten better result with manually/locked bitrate. And with 'auto' on HD200 it goes as high as possible on the upload trunk on my home DSL connection. Which I do not want in all cases. Have I overlooked something?

Second. I would nok like to have my Placeshifter out on Internet without username/password. Also I like to choose username/passwords with sensible complexity/length. This is a nightmare on the HD200 in Placeshifter mode and the SMS 1-2-3 remote. To make it even worse, it seems the server or HD200 Placeshifter just reboots/cuts connection if you use too long to input username/password. So it can become a race sometimes, if one misses keys on input. What I want is "[v] Save username/password" (cached credentials) option on the SageTV serverlist on HD200. Is this possible in some way already?

Third. I think I heard Andy mention some time back that there is a way to exit Placeshifter or SageTV server mode back to standalone, without power down/up HD200. Is this the case? or am I just remembering wrong.

That was about it for now. Any feedback is good. Even if just to confirm that it is not possible for now, so I can submit a feature request. Other than that, the Placeshifter mode for HD200 is a great feature
