Bought one, order 28321. $62 for shipping was quite nasty though especially as it was the only option...

Why only one option? I was afraid of the shipping too because the drop-down list looked greyed out (and it defaulted to Canada Parcel Post) but when I clicked it I got options that included the much cheaper UPS ground. I bought 2 and UPS Ground shipping came to $16.31

I got a reply back from orders@sagetv.com. They sent me my license key so I assume it is going to be shipped (no tracking number). Just good to know the order actually did go through!

Now the waiting begins (again).

I ordered two and then I realized I didn't have the software yet and it was a better deal to order the bundle so I ordered a third one with the software. I hope it rocks!

I can't wait. Now I need to get a tuner card! Anyone use a card with FIOS? I could jump for joy I am so happy they are available!

I already have one.

I ordered another, then saw all these posts and decided I better get a third before all you vultures snap up the existing supply.


I'm going to use the third to replace my server and move it to a closet somewhere.

I was thinking about doing the same, order an additional and move the server to the basement, I think I can wait though.

Do these have any control on audio? Or is it all regulated to your reciever or TV?

I suspect that their Sage server box is sitting out next to a TV some where feeding that display. By getting another HD-100 box, then can use the extender to feed the TV and put the server in a closet somewhere. I don't think they are suggesting that the get rid of the server completely (which obviously cannot be done).

Little late to the party, but I ordered 2. One with the s/w bundle since I'm just starting out.

Glad I they still had them, didn't see the notice until right before dinner. Now for the R5000s...

I work literally a few miles from the SageTV HQ, so could pick it up if they allow Will Call. Anyway, with 3 day shipping, hopefully, it'll arrive on Friday.

The joys of living in Europe I'm afraid! Shipping at 30% of cost and am sure to get hit with import duties & VAT on top of that too.

The customs guys usual scam these days is to charge import duty on the cost of the item including shipping and then charge VAT on top of that total. It all adds up quite quickly!

Really wish Sage would just ship from an address somewhere in the EU...

I finaly got my 6 ordered today. Never received an order number since I could not order them online due to the quanity.

I wonder how many they have? did they get a huge shipment this time to handle the masses?

I'll tell ya. I am migrating from MCE and sage took a little getting use to but now I have become a big fan. Finding the SageMC Add-on helped with the transistion and gained a high WAF. I have been stiring people towards sage ever since. And once I get my extenders my setup will be complete for about a month. (that is until I can find something else to spend my money on. maybe a hd capture device? hmmmm!)

WHOOOOHOOOO

After Months and Months of hearing all you "Haves" talking about the HD extender, while I fight with my troublesome PC Client, I have finally been able to place an order for the HD extender!!!!

It was making me sick (just kidding here) hearing some of you talking about how you have 4, 5, or even 20 HD extenders in your house and I had none. It kinda makes you think there should be a strict "no seconds until every one has one" policy (again just kidding here). Now I have one, which is exactly how many I need right now. I am now one of the "In" crowd, I am cool now.

Hi,

Just ordered one, I managed to make a mistake while ordering (ordered including Sage software which I already have) I'm in the UK so I have my fingers crossed for PAL support soon although I think my TV supports several standards.

Cheers,

David
