difference between the free extender and this one?

I wanted to know if I run SageTV 5.X , what would be the reason why I would need to purchase the Media Extender License? I thought there was a free extender that someone made for early versions of Sage? Not sure, so I was hoping someone would direct me? Perhaps it is because we can no longer run the free version with 5.x?

Thanks!

The older plugin will probably still work, but the built-in MVP support has some advantages, among which are less cpu use on the server, faster UI response, and the ability to transcode various video formats, among other things.
