What HTPC/SageTV Stuff Did You Get for Christmas?

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to everyone!


HTPC/SageTV Stuff Did You Get for Christmas?

I'll start:
I got a new 1TB Hard Drive and an Hauppauge HVR-2250.

I also got a Bosch 3/8" mini-driver but I'm not sure if that's not to get some items completed off my honey-do list

I got ice fishing stuff. The family must want me to stop messing with Sage .

Wife and I gave each other a new laptop. Not exactly Sage related, but certainly is nice. Now we each have a laptop so we aren't fighting each other for it.

I got an HD200 (wife), gave an HD200 (dad) and wife got a netbook from me, placeshifter preinstalled.

[Konig]

Got an HD200 and 1.5TB HD for the server so I finally have HD piped to the 56" LCD. I subscribed to netflix, tho my DB player supports the streaming natively so I don't think I'll bother with that plugin. Overall, it's a good haul this Christmas. We'll see if I can wait til next year for the WHS build.

Wife got a netbook for University. I don't think I'll put Sage on it as she'd never get any studying done .

My main HDTV has been taken over by a new Wii, so that's a negative Sage effect.

Actually, I bought myself a new motherboard and CPU for my Sage Server, but did all that upgrading over the last few days - just before Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I received a URC Digital R50 remote for my living room (Sage extender + TV).

Also (though not necessesarilly "for" Christmas) bought a R5000 modded Dish box thanks to a great sale at Nextcom

I ended up getting PlayOn for free through a couple of deals. It's not too interesting and the emplementation is kind of yawn. The biggest hype of 2009, imo.

BD-ROM drive from Santa to finish off my new PC build scheduled for New Years weekend, hello Quad Core so long P4 2.6 !!!

Santa told me I ain't getting squat until I install the 100 Home Theater/Home Automation parts that he (or the Easter Bunny, or Cupid, or Betsy Ross, or the Great Pumpkin) gotten me for the last 5 years.

At last estimate, I had $1000 in new stuff sitting on the parts closet, and I just filled out the RMA for the non-functioning $900 RAID card that's crippled my 7TB array for the past 7 months. I don't think anything new is coming for me for a while.

Way off topic..............but

sorry to read this,
I'm purchased PlayOn a few weeks ago, it was a 110% impulse buy and been sitting uninstalled since. I was planning on playing with it on new years eve.......(my new years eve partying dayz are long gone)

I've had an Onkyo 606 sitting in a box for a year. I got a set of Polk Audio RM95's and a The Speaker Company T-100 Subwoofer from the wife. I will be replacing a Logitech Z-680 system with them...so my audio is taking a big jump up.

Sadly, I couldn't think of anything.

[mistergq]

I got an upgrade to my sound system (my home theater in a box died in the spring, and we finally replaced it).

Onkyo HT-RC160 Receiver
Polk Audio speakers and subwoofer
Sony Bluray player that is also 1080p upconvert dvd player
