My Sage Obsession
I continously feel the need to spend more and more money on Sage. I am now upto:
2 Full Licenses (one pre V5, and one V6) 1 Upgrade License 2 Full Client Licenses 5 Placeshifter/Extender Licenses 3 MediaMVP's 2 HD100's 1 HD200 And tonight I ordered my second HD200 (had to take advantage of the $20 dollar discount!). This is on top of course all the money I have dropped on my various Sage Servers throughout the years.... This is very sad!!!

Don't feel bad you could have done media center first
1. hp computer (first time media center was out and before it was OEM (hate buying OEM !!! ) 1a. Bough sd tivo as Media center wasn't there for tv yet. 2. Custom built server in htpc case with 2 client pcs (around 2005 when mc became OEM) 2a. Decided I couldn't live without HD bought a $1k hd directv tivo. 3. CableCard Dell pc (again oem!!!) two xbox 360 extenders, 1 dma 2100 extender. 4. Decided to switch to sage (6 months ago) 2 hd200 extenders, 1 mvp extender, sagetv license, sagetv placeshifter, new custom WHS rig with way too much storage , dual r5000 modded boxes extra hd home run box.Over the years I have had over 15 differnent tuners it is sad.

Yeah luckily when I started down the path of recording television with a PC back in 2003, I went with Sage from the get go!

Plucky that was pretty much the same path I took, but I didn't buy the second OEM PC, I bought a second Tivo, with lifetime. Fortunately those hold their value fairly well, so when I sold them, I recovered the cost of 2 HD200's and a Sage Server license.
Like you the last straw was the 2 Xbox 360's as extenders, and finding out that just wasn't a workable solution. 4gig max size on a file that you want to steam was the deal breaker for me.

MyMovies could do DVD playback. But since all my DVD's were already ripped so I could play them on my Tivo that wasn't an issue for me. I could even stream ripped blurays to my Tivo, but not on the Xbox, without something like Transcode360, which was very flakey.
Sad that my 6 year old Tivo could do what the 2 year old Xbox couldn't.
