Given that it's a "generic" device, it will probably also be
a lot easier to get it to play nice with MythTV. Even if one were
to get MythTV running on the Sage extender you still have the
problem of supporting the h264 hardware acceleration.
Either unit as a generic non-MythTV device is going to be missing
features since they aren't running Myth (no autoskip).
Is there any way to enable 3rd party devices to support autoskip
in some transparent way (like skipping commercials while streaming)?
My setup is customized enough that nothing short of running Myth
on the frontend gear will do really...
