ExtremeTech reviews the SageTV HD Media Extender
The folks at ExtremeTech have published a review of the SageTV HD Media Extender device here on their website. The SageTV HD Media Extender plays back content from a SageTV enabled PC directly on a television set. The device connects to your home network via a Fast Ethernet connection and has connectors for component, composite, analog/digital audio out, and HDMI out. Supported video formats include MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264 up to 1080p, AVI, VOB, WMV9/VC-1 up to 1080p. The device in many ways is similar to what you’d expect from an extender device - especially if you’re familiar with Windows Media Center Extender devices. So what did ExtremeTech think of it?
The SageTV HD Media Center offers a simple connection to HDTVs, and works well under some conditions. But the playback glitches we encountered, plus lack of WMA Lossless or Apple Lossless support is problematic.
Here’s hoping SageTV will resolve some of the issues the publication encountered. The SageTV HD Media Extender has an MSRP of $199.95.
