HD Theater - Totally Worth It !
I was skeptical, but I ordered the hardware extender and it is one of the single best pieces of hardware I have ever used.
Practically set itself up. Draws only 7 watts vs. my HTPC at 150. Absoulutely gorgeous H.264 & TS decoding. Zero hassle. Bravo Sage - it's a winner.

I wish I could elaborate but my knowledge of video formats is so-so. I have some videos which seem choppy at times (and it seems to be different format types). An .avi, for example, I can skip forward and backward flawlessly but the .mkv format seems to stop the playback 1/4 of the time during playback.
I have no idea if its the Sage HD100 that is unable to decode at fast enough or my PC. I am still happy with it but when is more speed a bad thing. Well, in computers, that is. Sry, dont mean to derail the thread.
