Some of you my recall the REALmagic Xcard and how well it work beside it one major downfall and that is displaying the SageTV UI on the Video output.

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

You're putting your family before your own personal enjoyment?

I've bought a ton of crap for myself this year already.
If it wasn't Christmas time, it'd be a different story though.

I ordered 3

I ordered three for the savings in shipping and assuming that the units will work as advertised. If there is an issue, I will be returning all of them anyway so the difference to return one versus returning three is not significant.

I can't imagine I will be returning them though... The media MVP was pretty awesome and this just looks to be even better...

Ordered mine a few minutes ago to replace a PC running sage in my equipment room.

Not using it for HD, only SD but I know it will be faster than the SD Media Extender I have in the bedroom.

Looking forward to receiving it soon!

We've had this discussion before, you PM'd and asked me well over a year ago when you saw Ohio as my location I'm in the Steubenville area.

Well, the day's almost done and this poll has counted 118 HD extenders sold. Not a bad take for the first day - no telling how many people bought them that aren't active on the forums, however I'm guessing not too many. And then there are those active on the forums that don't vote in polls!
