How do you do that? I never figured out a good reliable way to get a PC to not deinterlace or scale video.

FWIW, that is exactly what I do in my HT though, I have my HD300 set to native output switching and let my Lumagen take care of the video processing.

For me, I just set it in the FFMPEG settings, Deinterlaceing Mode. See the link below.

Thinking about it more, I don't know why it works (because how would the interlaced fields line up with a 1080P screen with overscan on/off etc..), but it does. I can tell when looking at the scrolling text you would see on a news channel, or a known 1080i station like CBS with fast scenes.

This looks like an interesting possibility for an extender replacement or even a lightweight server:

Assuming they begin full production.

Surprised that Enigma Mini got $560 pledge at all. It's one guy making promises, showing some charts and boxes (probably usb enclosures). At least he got some free money for a new video card.

The pledges are up over a half Million now. Looks great if they can deliver on the promises. I'm not from Missouri, The Show Me State, but "Show Me!!".
Since they already have 10x over their goal they should have all the $$$ they need. If they ship and the goals are met then put me down for a couple.

Where does the project say they are up to a half million? I want in!

He's talking about the PINE A64, not the Enigma Mini.

I imagine that one would run Android 5.1 with the SageTV client for android rather nicely!

No worries. I needed to go back and figure out which one he was talking about even though I knew it wasn't the one you thought it was.

Pine A64+ is looking rather impressive. Even come with an Ethernet port.

It does look good for $19 for the 2GB version and it is supposed to ship in February. It will be interesting to see how well this works for an extender and whether it makes sense to use Android or a full Linux OS like Ubuntu.

I think active development of the Android client by Stuckless would make that an easy decision.

And something else to consider, when it comes to Linux and SageTV. While SageTV placeshifter works on Linux it only works on x86 linux. To run on an arm linux it would require quite a bit of work.
