Support for wireless Media Extender?
Is there any wireless Media Extender that SageTV supports?

The MVP is the only extender Sage currently supports. A wireless MVP is supposedly going to be released early in 06.

You could always use a wireless game adapter to convert the wired connection to wireless.

I have not read good things about the game adapters as they are not working well with the BOOTP and DHCP needed by the MVP. Since they are actually cheaper than the game adapters, I have two Linksys wrt54gs routers and setup a wireless bridge. BOOTP and DHCP work fine, MVP playback is flawless.

According to the pictures on HTPCnews, the wireless MVP not only sports wireless, but it also has SPDIF out!

In case you want to do wired. Wired would still be a faster connection than wireless.

I gave up on my wireless game adapter solution after 1 year.
Performance with wireless got worse with 4.0 and built in MVP support. Broke down and drilled holes to my daughters room to get a cat-5 cable in her room. Bottom line.. DON'T BOTHER with wireless MVP setup.. Totally unreliable Quote:

I recommend these to anybody who doesn't want to put holes in the house and run cable. Just remember not to put too many devices on the wireless network.. try to go 'G' only and make sure you don't have the MVP too far from the wireless router. Wired is always better (though I hear there is a 600mb wireless protocal coming out very soon), but wireless can work very well if it is planned out and implemented correctly.. ![]() |

I also use a dlink DGL-3420 wireless game adapter up one floor and 60 feet away from a dlink DI-624 router and experience no problems with Sage 4.1.3 or 4.1.5 (beta)

Let me clarify that I did use Sage 2.2.8 with Matt's pluggin with SOME reliability... after upgrading to 4.0 and using MVP support... it made matters worse. I was very involved with early posting on this subject and the majority of users were have LOTS of problems with wireless.. so really it isn't a blanket statement if you go through the archives
