Post ConvertX PX-TV100U
eHomeupgrade has an intesting article with some interesting quotations from Dan K (of Sage).

link

List is $100 and it does DIVX/MPEG2 in HW. It comes bundled with SageTV Lite . Also mentions 'Sage Media Center'.

Good to see another external tuner available too

I say that this is great news. The fact that SageTV has edged out more "well known" brands such as Intervideo and is bundled on hardware that will be sold to thousands is a coup for SageTV and very positive for us.....

And as dagar said another external box at a decent price with DivX encoding to boot.....

Congrats to Sage! That is a WAY bigger deal than I think people realize. A foot in the door to people's homes like that is HUGE!

I'm sure we'll get a lot of new users around here as a result, not to mention the huge number of licenses Sage is getting out there now. Great work guys. Great work.

Now if they can just get it bundled with the Big Ballaz like Hauppauge cards, they would be set

Hauppauge cannot even figure out how to package their own products...

Hauppauge cards already come with functional software so that might not be easy. Frey should go after the Theater 550 pro chip cards. Those are currently bundled with the craptastic Power Cinema software. It's so bad, and universally hated, that it's commonly called "Power Enema."

Got to agree! That is great for Frey, Plextor, and consumers.

Nice to see!

And now that is released, maybe Jeff can get going on Media Center... (KIDDING!!!!)

It's not like they'd be out any development if they dumped their stock software

The craptacular SW that came with my PVR250 made me stick it on the shelf (for about 1.5 years) till Sage v2 about 16 months ago

Heh, Power Enema I've never touched any of their SW that isn't craptastic -- I'd almost rather NOT watch a DVD than use that PITA POS.
