Geektonic did a nice writeup on the SageTV HD200 media extender:<br>

The box is apparently running Linux under the hood. It's using a 300mhz<br>
Sigma SMP 8635 LF chipset.<br>
<br>
For $200 I'd buy a pair of them in a heartbeat if we could get MythTV<br>
running on them. If SageTV locks this thing up in a similar fashion as the<br>
Roku Netflix player maybe we do an end run and get it unlocked from the<br>
hardware manufacturer?</blockquote></div><br><br>The supported formats reads a lot like the Popcorn Hour. The small size would be nice for a number of people I'm sure. I wish it had DTS playback (without passthrough). For places I would want a small box like this, I don't have an amp to connect it to. Looks like a nice box though, if it could run mythfrontend, it could be a winner. <br>
