HD100 vs HD200

showson1 · #1 12-23-2008, 05:39 PM

Hi all,
I currently have an HD100 and LOVE it.
Is there anything that I would gain from the HD200 if I don't have a 1080p TV?

Also, I'm not crazy about that menu screen in the screenshot, is there a way to use it as a media extender, using the visual styles (in my case SAGEMC) like the HD100?

Thanks!

That screen shot they show is just for Standalone mode, when you connect to your SageTV server you can customize it just like the with the HD100.

As for improvements, I Just hooked up my HD200 today and the first thing I noticed was the snappiness that everyone has been talking about. On the HD100 there are a lot of places that I just expect to see sluggishness and the spinning circle (Animations, Scrolling through Recordings/Videos/Music, menu transitions while is video playing, etc.) but those all seem super smooth with the HD200.

For my money (literally) it was well worth the upgrade.
