Arrow How many HD extenders did you order?

I'm sure Sage will give us some input eventually about how many they have sold, but here's a poll so we can track it "in the wild"

I would need three. But there is no way I will make a blind buy of 3 units at 200 a pop.

Ordered 1, and if !'m happy with the HD extender I will order 2 more at a later date

What does "it" mean? Does it mean he will be dissapointed by ordering only one or does it mean he will be dissapointed by the HD extender?

I ordered one now so I can retire my MVP, and if it works as well as promised I'll be ordering a 2nd one so I can retire my Roku Photobridge which presently plays my HD Sage recordings great! However no nice Sage interface on the Roku.
So as long as the HD Extender plays files as well or better than the Roku I'll be ordering a 2nd one

I'm not expecting to be disappointed, but I've been told that I can be fussy.

I will say that I was VERY pleased with the MVP for SD use when I got that, so as long as the new HD extender works as well on HD material as the MVP did on SD material then I'll probably be VERY pleased.

I posted this a few days ago too... but I was still using my 4 year old Xcard for SageTV (with the UI on it) until recently. I've now quit using it in favor of the HD100, since it also has great playback, plus it can show the UI in full color (vs. the Xcard's 256 color UI), the UI is faster (no more color conversion time delay), and the animations all work.

One coming. I will order two more if the first one works as expected. I am optimistic, but not optimistic enough to buy three without trying it first.

I ordered one. I don't plan on ordering more than one at the moment. If I needed more than one I don't think I would have ordered just one.

I bought Beyond TV 4.1 and after having that two months I downloaded the trial of SageTV. I wasn't eager to switch to another product since I already paid for Beyond TV. That changed once I got the MVP. After I saw how easy and how well it worked with SageTV I made the switch.

The MVP with SageTV was one of those rare times in my electronics history where I wasn't let down by any of the hype.

I trust the HD Extender will do the same.

Just ordered one. It will replace the current MVP in the master bedroom. It will connect to a wall-mounted Viewsonic 27" LCD via Component. (I bought the Viewsonic right before they had an HDMI model available).

The old Media MVP will get cycled down to the TV out in the gym room, connecting to an old 27" RCA CRT on a swing-out "hospital" arm.

I haven't ordered any yet

My first order will probably come sometime in January. Gotta get Christmas gifts for the family first.

I can wait a few weeks.

Looking for helpful people in the US and Canada

Can somebody in the US or Canada order a few extra and stick them on e-Bay so us mere mortals outside of the golden lands have some as well? SageTV can't ship outside of the US or Canada but there's not a lot to stop you guys helping us provided you don't also sell or transfere the bundled license keys.
