NeoTV Prime suitable extender for SageTV ???

[reboot_this]

Okay, been searching all over for an answer to this... no luck. I am in need of something to replace an erratic HD100.

Anyone think the Netgear NeoTV Prime w/ GoogleTV (model# GTV100) would work as sort of an extender to SageTV? I read that it will play stuff from media servers in the datasheet (see top of "page 5 of 6") here:

I'm sure I would still need to schedule recordings thru the SageTV interface, but we also stream lots of movies/tv via Playon - which is sometimes troublesome.

I saw this youtube video linked to by mkanet in the "Sage" at CES? thread:

(If the NeoTV Prime experience is like that, I want one)

Kinda growing tired waiting for a Sa-GoogleTV extender for my Sage server and I would pay for this before I spent $$$ on an old HD200/HD300 on ebay or elsewhere.

I wanted to add, that I am aware it wouldn't function as a "true" SageTV extender, but if I could use it to "see/play" all my recordings in a decent - somewhat intuitive layout, I would be a happy camper

Why not pick up a license and build a small, quiet client PC? If it's the cost, then I understand why. Otherwise, people should really consider switching over to client PC's when their HDx00's die.

My assumption is that video shows what is possible using the full experience of the set top box pass through. Google TV boxes cannot show live TV without it.
