Loving my new HD200, but some questions. . .

[sdsean]

Ok so my new HD200 is working pretty flawlessly. . .

(Although I can't get it to see my networked drive shares in standalone mode which is sort of bother some).

Anyway, something that I can't even believe is that channel changes seem faster then when using SageTV on the PC directly. . . is that possible? Seems hard to believe, but I swear its better. . .

This of course led me to the thought of getting another HD200 just using it as the main tv (like I have in the bedroom right now), and never actually using SageTV on the PC itself (but I'd still keep the pc in the room for games and stuff)

My current machine has dual ethernet. . . could I just plug an HD200 into the other ethernet port (thereby just making the transfer go directly over the network card)?

So now I have only the HD200 in the bedroom, and that is the only thing powering TV in there. My GF watches live tv, and just leaves it running. .. pretty much till she goes too sleep. . .I have SageTV setup to delete live recordings. . so will it just delete each show that was recorded as time moves on and the next show comes on (E.g. delete the old, and start the new)? Or will it just keep each show, and delete them later (E.g start new, start new, start new, . . . sometime way later delete).?

I'm also a little concerned now about the HDD usage, since its basically going to double or more with this setup. . . hope it doesn't crap out on me. . . ;-)
