Re: Primary HTPC Software Results and New Poll!
This doesn’t surprise me either but can go either way. I keep going back and forth, but I think MC7 usability is superior, however it lacks the component feel that the Sage HD extenders give. This can go either way for a while. The availability of the ceton/cable cards solutions will give MC7 a boost, however if SageTV ends up giving cable card as an option, then advantage SageTV.. Another thing that could come into play is if someone develops an extender similar to the SageHD extenders for MC7.. I believe that would give MC7 a huge boost. Most disappointing is Beyond TV and in my opinion, complete lack of development on the consumer line who helped get them going. I still have licenses unused… For Blu-ray playback, I’ll have try the streaming to the extender on SageTV.. Right now I have a component LG Blu-ray player and when comparing it picture to picture, it was superior using the TMT3 with an ATI 4850 HDMI video card. The Sage HD extender’s picture however is awesome.
