Besides watching TV using the SageTV Media Center Software and the STX-HD100, you can also record programs on your PC's hard drive and play it back later on your Television via your home network.

One thing to note is that if you have an HDTV tuner in your PC, the SageTV software and STX-HD100 is completely compatible and can display and record HDTV for display on an HDTV via the STX-HD100's HDMI output connection.

Final Take

The SageTV STX-HD100 HD Media Extender is a great way to integrate your home theater system and PC. The Media Extender is a set-top box that can connect directly to your TV, or through a video-enabled home theater receiver, and also to your PC and high-speed internet connection via its built-in ethernet port. Using the SageTV Media Extender and SageTV software on your PC, you can access and view a host of PC and internet content on your home theater system and TV. However, if you are a novice to PC networking, you may find initial setup and use non-intuitive and a little cumbersome.

NOTE: You must have Sage TV Media Center Ver.6 software installed on a PC (separate purchase).
