I love the fact that Sage listens to their user community.  I have always thought that an extender should have the capability for an external IR receiver.  Now, thoughts on future designs.  Bring it back to being square so they can be stacked or set on edge.  Make the size just big enough to accomodate pass through screws for a VESA mount.  

I am now in a bit of a quandry, as I have a Ceton card waiting to be setup.  I was originally going to set it up in a thin client PC as opposed to using the XBOX as extenders to benefit from full CODEC support and DVD menus.  Now, I am seeing that Sage really has their head in the game and Microsoft clearly does not, and am thinking about dusting off the Sage setup.  Adding to this, in order to go the thin non extender route, I need to have an analog tuner for the non HD channels since my provider does not simulcast them in encrypted QAM.

If only Sage had native Cable Card support, the decision would be so easy.
