As a happy user of both Slim/Logitech gear and SageTV media center with HD-200 media extender, I had a dream once that one would buy another and create a merged product. Sage is cross-platform commercial PVR/media center solution, and the only one that has hardware extenders so far. I understand there would be numerous challenges to that, but as an end-user I would love this idea!
