I found SageTV to be just the package I needed to complete the home media system since it was part of a larger home network rather than being the center of it. It has a great interface that you may want to use it even in a stand-alone mode.

Add another PC to the network that you would like to utilize the TV services of the media center PC and you will definitely want to check out SageTV.

Plus, if I did want to add another hard drive, it supports adding an external SATA HDD which are easier to find in larger capacities over PATA drives.The ATI TV Wonder Pro and HDTV Wonder come with some great video and PVR software but it tends to be oriented towards a PC user. Since I'm streaming from the MSS, I didn't need this support anyway. Ironically enough, I probably would have chosen the iSTAR HD over the PCH because it's form-factor is smaller because it doesn't support an internal drive. I didn't learn about the iSTAR HD until I had already placed my order for the PCH. The only difference is that the iSTAR supports an external SATA drive while the PCH supports an internal PATA drive. Side Note: There is another device called the iStar HD which uses the same chipset as the PCH. I don't know if this is a true con because there is a workaround and every other media streamer has similar problems. With the exception of Transformers, the majority of my HD-DVDs were encoded with the VC-1 video format. m2ts format that will still allow me to stream them with video and audio intact. I have found a workflow to mux them (not re-encode) them to the. There are a few HD MKV's encoded with the VC-1 format that I still struggle with. It's there but there are more feature rich options available if this is the sole reason for getting the PCH. The photo viewing and music streaming applications in the PCH are very weak. It's still a little rough around the edges in terms of usability. IMO, I don't believe the device is ready for the mainstream consumer to figure out and use. You still need to have a certain level of technical know-how to use this device. I won't be using this feature of the PCH as all of my movies and video will be streamed directly from the MSS. It can support the addition of a PATA (IDE) hard drive internal to the PCH. It also has portals to Picasa Web and other worthwhile portals.

I've already used the PCH to watch shows like DL.TV and Cranky Geeks to name a few plus it supports YouTube (it is grainy but is there). In addition to its video streaming capabilities, the PCH also supports a Media Service Portal (MSP) which allows you to watch video and audio podcasts directly from the PCH. The PCH can handle just about any video file that you can throw at it including including MKV, M2TS, TS, etc. With the PCH, I access one of my video files and it just plays. the time and headache to perform video conversions to a lossy compression format (although, admittedly MP4/AVC is pretty damn good and the conversion is likely indistinguishable to most) While a great device in its own right, I didn't want to go through the time consuming effort of converting all of my movies and videos to MP4/AVC format which is the only thing that the ATV understands. As well, I had a bunch of HD-DVDs that I wanted to convert to HD format without encoding and losing video/audio quality so that I can stream them extending the life of my HD-DVD titles without being dependant on an HD-DVD player.

My incentive for getting the PCH was to play HD videos that my aging XBoxes with XBMC couldn't play and that my 360 and PS3 consoles didn't play without a lot of effort to put them into a video format that they would understand. I tend to type novels so I'll try and put everything in point form and will respond to any further questions that you have afterwards. I finally received my Popcorn Hour (PCH) and have had it now for 1 week at the time I'm writing this review.
