HD-PVR or HD200
I am hesitating between Hauppauge's HD-PVR and Sage's HD200. Of course right now, the HD200 is cheaper but I would have to factor in exchange, shipping costs, and possibly some shocking duty charges. I can pick up the HD-PVR today from Future Shop but at a whopping 275 + taxes.
Considering price, quality, and a certain degree of impatience, what would you recommend? |

Not sure how you can compare the two devices. They have totally different functions. Do you want a recorder, or a media extender/sagetv stb?

ohhhhhh that changes everything. I understand now. I want the sagetv box. I thought for some reason the HD-PVR was a media extender. My bad.

I would suggest getting many of both! I have 2 HD-PVRs and 4 HD-200s. HD-PVRs can be bought for C$199 at ncix.com (a Vancouver online store) until Oct15.

the HD-PVR is how you're going to get your live HD TV content onto the HD200 |

The HD200 seems very stable, but the HD PVR, at least mine, is flakier than breakfast cereal. If you like to spend a lot of time tinkering - then this combo will do that for you. Picture qaulity is great, but at a steep price.
