If you’re one of the many SageTV users waiting for the return of SageTV HD Extenders, your wait is now over this CyberMonday. The SageTV store has the new version of the HD100, known as the SageTV HD Theater (HD200), available for $200. The smaller replacement model functions just like the former $200 HD100 extenders – handling all of the same video and audio formats plus some, acting as Placeshifter client, etc. The SageTV HD Theater also functions as a standalone media player without requiring a SageTV server connection and can also run without a PC to play media it finds on your local network or on a local USB storage device.
from the product page:
Video format supported: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264 up to 1080p, AVI, MKV, MOV, ASF, VOB, WMV9/VC-1 up to 1080p
me like. but only 10/100 ethernet, weird. not that streaming 1080p would really push the threshold, it is just odd that it would be chosen over gig.
for $200 that is a handy piece of hardware to have when pushing content to a nice big tv.
