Yeah, it seems like no apps support for it. Lame…
It won’t be in my stocking this year then. Since I can get all of it’s functionality in other devices already.

I think you can force it in the drivers by clicking some options in the ATI drivers that says something like Force resolutions not supported by this tv. I’m not in front of my HTPC now but I’m sure you can find it.

It is big step backwards in hardware capability, but a step forward in streaming features. The fact that it will run on iphone hardware makes it easy to build apps for it in the itunes store.
I have the old one and was happy with it. It had the best streaming movies out of all my boxes. I modded it but found it was too slow for the HD content I watch. The SageTV HD200 is a much better experience for me.
I’ll wait to see how thing develop with these boxes. I can keep using my appleTV classic for streaming movies but if this little box will support things like hulu and netflix and pandora etc then I might grab one. $99 is cheap enough that it isn’t a big deal to replace my AppleTV classic.

No, because the HD-PVR drivers only support using a single emitter. You have to get a USB-UIRT

I’ll probably sell the HD100 and not one of my HD200s. I’m not sure the demand for HD100s will be very high.

Don’t forget that it can decode all formats, including DTS, Dobly Digital and their HD versions to stereo for use on TVs that can’t decode those formats. That’s huge for me. I wonder if I’m still going to just pull the lossy codec on my BDs to save space…
Glad to at least have the option though…
I can’t wait for Cable Card, and I’m hoping that I’ll still be able to copy freely most of my content since I don’t watch premium channels.
I see three negatives so far. No multichannel PCM audio support, the form factor prevents me from stacking andlaying it on it’s side, and the lack of a front USB port. I used mine on occasion when using standalone mode, and as a free USB charger for ipods.
Those are pretty minor complaints.
Probably my biggest problem now is do I upgrade? I would like to upgrade my bedroom to get DTS decoding support, but do I upgrade my main system also so I can support HD bitstreaming? Hmm. I guess that will depend on Cable Card support since I don’t believe in spending $ just to get HD audio.
If they launch Cable Card on SageTV, I will be upgrading just to simplify my system and make it more reliable. It’s a mess with 2 HD-PVRs and 2 cable boxes connected with 4 cables each and mine hasn’t been very stable.
