Yeah, I think it will work with any Media Center. I'm not sure the Extender platform has a way for them to limit it. That said, it will be costly because that is Niveus' market. Niveus will be selling this to customers instead of five Niveus PCs around the home because this way it supports CableCARD. It is not going to be a $300 Extender, and I believe that the R&D to develop it was much higher then Linksys/D-Link which are based off Sigma Designs hardware.

I was told by Niveus in their demo room at the show that the Edge will work with any Vista MC on the network. You don't need to be running their server.

The price will be very interesting though and no one so far is saying.....

Hmmph, Me thinks that this media "Extender" is going to cost more than my whole HTPC!

Also, maybe I am just being paranoid, but it seems like this extender is only going to play "nice" within it's own ecosystem of products.

But if the price point is where I think it is going to be, I guess it won't really matter as I won't be able to afford it anyway!
