    I came back to this thread after how many hours its been since I posted, and so its been on my mind what I said, and just I want to say I don’t think the poll was biased in any way, or was it intended to get a certain outcome. All I’m saying is that a good number of Sage users come to this site, as its one of the few that I know of that continually posts Sage-related news.

    On the contrary, if this poll was on Engadget, it’d be much different. I’d say XBMC/Plex/Boxee would do much better, probably than 7MC.

    In all, I think I could have used better words to get across my meaning. I’m not trying to imply any intended bias.

    LOL!  No harm done by your previous wording (which I still have on my phone’s RSS feed), at least not in my mind.  I was planning to respond with the fact that I actually think this site is more heavily trafficked and populated for MC users, which is why the poll results surprised me.  As a SageTV user, I generally feel in the minority around here.  I definitely didn’t think you were saying anything about bias, either.  That said, it’s nice to see someone consider that something they wrote MIGHT have been misconstrued and try to correct it ahead of time.

    Oh yeah… welcome to the site!

    I like the USB port not being behind a panel since mine are almost always in use by something.  I have the wireless keyboard receiver plugged into one at all times and the other one is used for thumb drives pretty regularly.

    I have a Pioneer VSX-1015 I’m no longer using.  PM me if interested.

    I do wish they would remove the (giant) Volume control on these things though…

    Like many people, I don’t use it, but that would be an awful sparse front if it wasn’t there.  I’m not sure what else could be placed in that position, though.

    That was my original assessment:

    [quote=”Skirge01″]8.  No Ordinary Family
    It sounds like a live-action version of The Incredibles.[/quote]

    I think it is currently holding true to that, too.  That’s what made the cartoon so enjoyable… the family issues dealing with super powers.  I’ll never forget the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOvzCI9n5J8&NR=1]scene at the dinner table[/url].  Same family issues; just more variables.

    Great choice!  I love my Antec Fusion (silver, no IR receiver), so that one gets my vote.  ;D  I’d be hard pressed to go with a different case next time.  It looks really nice with the rest of the A/V equipment.

    I immediately thought of FF in his performance, but I think that character works quite well in this show.  If they can continue with the family problems, rather than turning it into a “baddie of the week” storyline, I think it’ll hold up.
