Nice....

I wonder if I can save $5 by them not shipping the remote...I think I have about (10) 45 button remotes from Hauppauge. All sitting in a drawer with the batteries removed.

Thanks for the pictures,

Is it just me or is that an odd form factor for the device?

Since it needs to be paired with a cable/dish box wouldn't it have been better for it to have a form factor that would make it easily "stackable" with its paired device?

I love those remotes, it provides my family with a consistent interface, no matter what tv (and extender) they are using. I am actually thinking about buying more

Sucks that this got delayed tho, I was really looking forward to trying this thing.

Just curious, where'd you get the photos?

[toricred]

It looks like it has 2 inputs. Is it a dual tuner?

That would be nice, but I'm assuming that there is one input (pass through) and one output for component video and optical SPDIF. I also see the IR emitter, USB outlet and power.

[SHS]

There is only one set of Component, RCA Audio and SPDIF connector inputs. The set above are the loop throughs.

I don't care if it looks like a flying saucer as long as it works.



But I do understand some people are big on the appearance of their systems

Looks like 4 might take up a normal rackmount shelf.

You can also repackage, I would try stacking them up and putting them in a
4U rackmount. Also if it runs on 12v or less you could power them from an ATX power supply, just have your hubs and everything inside one 4U using 1 power supply and parallel your power switches.

^ That sounds nice. I too thought dual tuner

I just got an e-mail back from Hauppauge confirming the photos (I never doubted you SHS ) and also confirmed that the release date will be end of May 2008.

I'm now officially hitting the reload button to get in line for the preorder page. Gotta get one of these just to try it out.....

[sleonard]

Has anyone had confirmation that more than one of these will work on a single system? I'm confident that the answer is yes but I'd like confirmation before spending $750+.

Maybe it's just me, but I would only buy one at first - you know to be sure it works as you expected anyway...
I haven't actually heard how many you could run on one system thus far.

Considering it's being released at the end of the month how many of us do you think have one much less multiple on a single system? :wink:

[LehighBri]

This is a great post with great news. Looking forward to when Sage officially supports this !

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see an S-Video connection on there.
