I would add the SageTV HD Extender to the list. You need the SageTV server running on your PC but Sage offers a bundle for $250. The advantages I see over some of the other HD extenders I see is that you get full PVR functionality as well as a GUI that can be easily reskinned (I have read terrible things about the GUIs for some other extenders). I personally hate the default SageTV GUI but the SageMC skin (free download) is excellent.
I have an HD extender and it is perfect for viewing ripped dvds. PVR functionality is also excellent. I never use it to listen to music. I have a fundamental problem with having to have my television on in order to listen to music so no "video" extender will work for me in this regard until someone decides to make one that includes its own VFC display like the SB3. -- queequeg99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ queequeg99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
