SageTV Placeshifter offers mobile content streaming

Those of you who do the home theater thing from your PC and are for some reason unhappy with the free streaming service offered by Orb now have a new way of "slinging" your content to a remote computer with SageTV's Placeshifter add-on. The $30 software, which requires the $80 SageTV media center package, offers remote access to videos, music, photos, and if you have a TV tuner card or USB device, both live and recorded programming. Cnet got a "first look" at Placeshifter in action, and reports spotty but acceptable performance, with the delays and artifact-infested video we've come to expect accept from these remote streaming services. While we're pretty happy with our free Windows Media Center and Orb setup, if you already own SageTV, the one-time fee might be worth it to free your content with the knowledge that someone's there to troubleshoot the inevitable problems.

I've been using SageTV for a couple years now and just upgraded to version 5. I've been really happy with SageTV except for it's MP3 playing ability. I have to admit I on;y use SageTV for just that: TV, and it does an excellent job at that. The DVD feature is decent but nothing to write home about. For music I use iTunes and DVD's I use CyberLink.

The nice thing about SageTV is the upgrades are free. i'm going to keep Sage unless another competitor jumps way ahead in capabilities, but with SageTV's excellent community and community add-on it's going to be hard to outpace them. We'll see.
