Rob, would you like to give my friend Marty your opinions on the slingbox? It looks like he might be interested in getting one.


I'm less than enthused about signing up to livejournal.com just to leave a comment, so I will leave it here.

The slingbox just keeps getting better and better. Besides everything I have said in this thread, they have recently released the Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone client. If I have a strong enough EDGE signal, I can get reasonably acceptable television on my phone. Currently on a strong EDGE connection, you can expect between 1 and 5 FPS. My phone also has WiFi, and when I'm on that, I get a solid 15 FPS (which I think is the max at this point in the beta). I've used the phone client to schedule tivo recordings a few times when I was away from home.

That's the only really new thing. The Slingbox itself still works great on the PC. I mostly use it while sitting at airports and when I'm at the office after hours.
