Some basic questions about the HD100

[mkanet]

My friend was impressed with the capabilities of my SageTV setup (using the SageTV Media Center).

I showed him to the ability to:

-Integrate Netflix Watch Now and other Neflix related things.
-Placeshifter
-Slimplayer
-SageMC interfaec

I'd like to know if the HD100 supports these enhancement too.

Thanks in advance for the quick response!

It will certainly run the SageMC interface and can act as a placeshifter, haven't tried the other things you mention.

Cool! Now All I need to know is if it will support the Netflix addon and Slimplayer. Those would be bonuses if they are supported!

You can access the Netflix plugin using the HD100, but cannot use the watch-now feature unless you use this hack
server loopback hack described in the first post of this thread

I think slimplayer is similar to Netflix so you'd have to use the same hack to get it to work on the HD100.

I believe these are the only two limitations with the HD extenders.

I think the HD100 should theoretically handle the Slimplayer natively, as it (unlike the MVP) can play audio streams. But I don't believe the Slimplayer plugin is setup to work like that.
