sorry if this question has been answered but what is the difference between the HD100 and the HD200.
Also, I know I have to have Sage running on a PC but does CQC have full control over the Extender?

The new CQC driver that Fonceur and Beez have been working on has complete control over the media extenders. I have it working with both an HD100 and an HD200 right now. I'd like to transition to two HD200s simply because the place where I have the HD100, it doesn't fit all that well. Its worth the $65 upgrade fee (assuming you tae the the HD100 for $135) for the WAF factor in this particular situation. Other question answered below.

These have no moving parts, so if it works for a year, chances are it will work for a lot longer than that. Differences between the HD100 and HD200 are fairly minimal. HDMI 1.3 complient for Blu-ray content, standalone mode, and form factor being the biggies. If you want that then, its worth the $200. To me, its worth $65 to upgrade, but it isn't worth $100. So, if you'd like an extender for $135 shipped, let me know. Overall, the package deal is probably a better deal for your first extender. I'd pick mine up if you need a second. I hate ebay and refuse to deal with it unless I have to.

Thanks for the reply, I have to think about the standalone option since I do not have Sage installed anywhere.

Without SageTV installed, you won't be able to use the CQC driver to control the HD200 in stand alone mode...

Soon I will be selling my two HD100 extenders, but I'll wait until the current transactions are completed so I don't interfere, but I do have some questions. Can the SageTV server licenses be transferred? I searched the SageTV forums and it sounded like they could not be transferred. I will not need my SageTV server software and a Placeshifter license. Am I able to sell/transfer these? Also, are there "extender" licenses that must be used with an HD100?
I'm just wondering if there will be any problems if anyone buys my HD100s.
