I was figuring that they'd start taking orders on Sunday. 12AM GMT, right? :rofl:

Well, I'll take a couple.

I could use one now pretty effectively. My wife just got put on bedrest (we're expecting twins!), and there is a nice new HD set in the bedroom, but little HD content and no access to the PVR...

Thanks,
Mike

My wife has already given me permission to buy one (yeah I need permission)! Come on Sage!!!

Oh come on. Anybody who has even been involved with software and hardware development knows "Q2" = June 31. (And anything up to 72 hours after midnight is June 32, and that still qualifies as June 31. :D )

It'll be on store shelves the 2nd Tuesday of next week, honest.:rofl:

It just went live on the Sage store now. Go look!

I just ordered three! I may get another one for my grandma in the barn!

Oh man, the specs look sweet. I'm in for 2. I can't wait! 1080p!?! $150.00? You can't go wrong. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you, I ordered 11, enough for one in every room in the house, now I just need to buy the TV's...

Am I the only one who got a notice on checkout that said the extenders were on indefinite backorder due to a shortage of one of the components?
Something about a blue laser.... :confused:

You guys shouldn't joke about this - all these posts are indexed by google, and bad info will get recorded and mislead folks doing searches...

thanks

Hmmm.... then I probably shouldn't say this was an invitation-only sale & no one should be mentioning this publicly, lest others find out & feel left out. Maybe those who mentioned it won't get the invitation next time...

So,:( I guess I should feel lef out !

Now no one will really know if got an invite or not, since that would be the proper way to respond if you got the invite & are just keeping it secret. :goodjob:

You mean this wasn't a cruel April 1 tease? I can't wait for "June 31" -- it seems like that will never come...

I didn't think it was cruel. What was cruel was the flush-faced embarassment I felt when I finally figured out the truth of this one.

Q2 would be ok. ;)

Punny!:rofl:

Phunny, Ph, LOL.:D

Patience is said to be a virtue. :rolleyes:

I can handle that... until we put an LCD in the main room. Then we'll be chomping at the bits for an HD "MVP". And an HDHomerun or 2. Sheesh I'm going to have the cable here split so many ways the signal is gonna get lost before it finds a tuner. :nono: Time to run another drop from the attic for OTA.

I can't get HBO in HD without a cable box, and since the sopranos is starting up sunday, I've gotta keep the HD DVR around for 6 more weeks at least.

I'd love to ditch the cable dvr at the same time I ditch HBO though.

How in the world are there over 200 posts in this thread when nobody even has this device to use!?! :confused: :confused:

Not that I helped much by adding another post... :rolleyes:

Got mine in the mail today, I'll have a full unboxing posted within minutes! :D

What's the time zone in North Texas? ;)

I think it is PST + 3 months.

Help!! Money Burning Hole in Pocket
 

Somebody help!! The money I've set aside for these things has burnt a hole in my pocket... working on sowing the hole shut, but I'm not sure how long it will hold. It has been awhile since we've had an "official" update on the progress of the HD Media Extender.

Is there anyway that someone could give a status report,.... even if it is just to say that this project is still alive and moving forward?:nod:

If I were in real need of a client machine, and had money burning a hole in my pocket, I would just go buy/build a full windows client for HD.

Seeing as there have been no formal announcements, timelines or press releases, it seems to be prudent if you're in real need of a device right now.

I was sooo hoping the official release of 6.1 would mean they would sneak out the HD client. Bummer. I too have money burning a hole in my pocket.

For those with "hot money"
 

For all of those with money burning holes in your pockets: Please send me the money and I will gladly replace it with "cool money". This cool money is guaranteed not to burn holes in pockets. :D

Exchange Rate?
 

I think the going exchange rate is one "hot" buck for every two "cool" ones....

Could not want any longer. built a client :(

You lose ;) Shortly you'll be giving that thing away ..

How long is shortly? ;)

I only hope that I can buy a dozen when the extender comes out and make a decent profit on ebay.

They would call it v7 if the HD Extender debuts.

And another upgrade fee maybe ;)

We'll have plenty of bitch-and-moan upgrade fee threads if that happens, so don't start just yet. :p

Not necessarily. It was 4.1 that released the MediaMVP as an official media extender.

decisions decisions... I'm almost ready to drop the hammer on a Samsung LN-T4065f. (any opinions on it?) I hear SD on an HD LCD isn't all that great but all I've got is an MVP. C'mon Sage. Let's get the HD MVP on the market. I'm not that fond of wedging a mid-tower on the shelf behind the TV. but yes, I want it right before it's released.
