Man... you've got some NICE toys this year... First the Mac Book Pro, now the Slingbox!

It's good, as long as your internet connection is good (upload rate). Anything over 1MB upload will get you a clear picture when you're away from home.

Mine works great

Ya im going to buy one for college next year so I can watch my FLA sports teams, how do you like it?

I have one but haven't hooked it up yet. It came free with my fiancees Sony Vaio laptop she got. We don't travel enough to use it.

Too bad it doesn't work on the iPhone yet...

Welcome to last year... Had one for a year ++++ now, was a beta tester for the OS X slingplayer software and for the mobil software.

The bad part is they got bought out so I dont know anyone in the company and dont have any inside info on whats coming out in terms of device support.. But last I knew I was on the beta for the iphone/itouch and blackberry list.

I told them they needed a web interface so you could go to their website log in and watch your TV, that would make a lot more devices compatible.
