I have the new
Here are some first impressions: Pros: - The interface is considerably more responsive than the previous model
- Smaller form factor
- Same great picture quality from HD sources such as a Hauppauge HD-PVR as the previous model
- USB ports afford access to external storage devices allowing access to media files stored on them
- Offers a full standalone media player mode allowing access to media stored on network devices and online services such as Hulu (Playon! required for sites like Hulu)
Cons: - Same remote as the previous model which means it is still a bit clunky
- There is no simple way to return to standalone player mode when in SageTV Extender mode
- No access to standalone player features while in SageTV Extender mode
Other Info: - Has two USB ports (one front, one rear)
- Has an optical digital audio output but no coax
- Video outputs include: HDMI (cable included), component, S-Video/Composite/Stereo Audio (cable included)
- Comes with a long Ethernet cable
- Uses a wall wart power adapter unlike the previous model
