Don't take this the wrong way, but you NEED to upgrade those speakers
I have the same ones for my computer (albeit the 2.1 version) and I just can't imagine being sufficient for 5.1 HT duty

I've heard some people have had great success with both programs, but the people who have SageTV said it'* worth the price...

yep agree with ya on the speakers, but they were free so can't complain.
Looking at the Logitech Z 5500, as soon as my tax return comes in.
The guy who built my system use to run Beyond TV but said Sage has more options.

Not worried about the fireplace cooking the TV?
