Logitech Revue and HD300

[bcjenkins]

Has anyone set up a Logitech Revue to overlay on top of the HD300? With the price drop to $99 I picked one up.

why overlay on the hd300? wouldn't u want to use that on a TV where you don't have an hd300 and you want to be able to get sage recordings?

I have an HD300 on every TV. I want the overlay as there are some enhancements to TV viewing that GTV is supposed to provide.

A friend has one. He has every video source (stb, bd player, wii, etc) connected to his AV receiver. The hdmi from the receiver connects to the revue and the revue connects to the tv.

I can't imagine there would be a problem.

Oh I c.... Let us know how it works.

Now all we need is a port of the Linux STV to Android, too bad we don't have the source code...java/linux all seem right up GTV's alley...wait...that's probably why Google bought Sage

Anyone see that Logitech recently slashed the GoogleTV Revue to $99?

Apparently more units were returned to distributors than sold.

This cannot be good for GTV or Sage. Now more than ever I think Sage stuff will exist in a digital purgatory.

I know, I know, we can run it as an appliance, add guide data forever, etc.

But on the GTV side we are down to a few Sony TV's and ONE Sony non-3D Blu-Ray player.

Maybe I'm looking at the cup half empty rather than half full. After reading all the bile in the Logitech forums over the Revue and now seeing this I can't see how any of this is a positive for any sort of hope for Sage users.

Sage is just another addition to the Google patent portfolio.

Maybe this is part of the reason Google bought Sage. From what I can tell the HDX00s were all quite successful (with the exception of the capacitor issue with the HD100s). I'm fairly certain that none of them had the return rate of the Logitech Revues.

This is what i really want, a sagetv android app. Run in on the revue, and you get sage, netflix, everything. Perfect. and $99. even better. I would immediately buy 3 or 4.
