Any chance GB-PVR will work with HP MediaSmart Connect?

It's a Windows Media Center Extender on sale this week.

I'm guessing not, I think the extender interface that MS developed is proprietary.

So unless the device can just browse via filesystem or maybe upnp (and then you'd need something like WMP 11 on your gbpvr server) then you might be out of luck.

What I say is not gospel however, just my educated guess.

You could use Windows Media Player 11 to make content recorded by GB-PVR available to this device or Tversity, which I use with my Xbox 360 and it work okay.

Do you mind telling me where this is onsale? I just had someone ask me about a device like this.

Actually, I guess it's a pre-sale. You can order them on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...%2bconnect, but there is supposed to be a deal on them ($315) in the upcoming weeks.
