Wireless Sage Extenders

[wayner]

I am a user of MCE 2005 with 5 V1 Linksys extenders who will likely be shifting to Sage in the near future. Eventually I guess I will buy the Sage HD extenders but in some of the rooms where I don't have an HDTV a MVP might be sufficient. The problem is that not all areas of my house are currently wired with ethernet cabling. Is there a wireless extender for Sage (I know that wireless and HD are a bad mix, but I don't have problems currently with wireless video with my MCE extenders)? I guess the other option is to use a wireless bridge of some sort - any suggestions on what bridge to use if I have to go that route?

Another option would be to use an old or low end PC as once I buy an MVP + wireless bridge it might cost as much. What would be a minimum spec PC to run SageTV client both with and without H.264 capabilities?

I'd recommend a standard extender and then providing your own wireless bridge. It costs a little more, but its much more robust solution. As for gear, I use an Airport Extreme + Airport Express and it works very well but I know belkin and linksys also have pretty good solutions. (I've heard that you should stay away from D-Link)
