I was reading through the streamdev source code today, and allthough I don't understand it a 100% yet,I think I can extend it to support the SageTV recorder plugin protocol.
If anyone wants to write a VDR plugin to support the device directly, I can provide network dumps of the communication between the extender and the server.

Dear Pasi, Out of the box, it only works together with the SageTV server software. The GUI is rendered on the server, the device acts as a dumb terminal.
However, they released some source code, and I just found some more technical details on the MythTV wiki: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/SageTV_HD_Extender
Yep.. someone with access to hd_extender should do some packet capturing and/or tracing to figure out how the communication between sagetv server and hd_extender is done..
I'm not interested in using SageTV software, but I'd like to use this device with VDR.. if possible. And possibly help developing a vdr plugin :)

Torgeir, It's this box: http://sagetv.com/hd_extender.html. Not sure about
the
hardware, but it runs Linux.
From the spec: Video format supported: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264 up to 1080p, AVI,
VOB,
WMV9/VC-1 up to 1080p
I run it at the moment with a dubious shell script doing the DVB
recording,
and the picture is very nice and fluid.
Hmm.. is there any way to send video streams to this device without
running
sagetv atm?
Looks like a nice device:)
