I have been thinking hard about buying the SageTV extender rather than purchase/build another HTPC for my second TV. However, I think I might want some of the extra capabilities of a HTPC. For example, there are a few media sources that I don't think the SageTV media extender can help me with.
I have some iTunes content that I would like to play from time to time, there are a few shows only available for download through Amazon that my wife is into (HGTV & TLC content since I won't have anything but OTA TV), and I have a Netflix account with the ability to stream several hours of movies every month.
I know the SageTV extender is supposed to have access to some online content, but what would that include?
Also, I have a kind of stupid question. If my main HTPC has two or three OTA tuners on it, can my second HTPC act as a media extender? Or would I need something like an HDHomerun to shares TV tuners among two networked HTPCs?
Thanks for the help!
