Interesting... So it's like a Slingbox but it has a PVR built in too. I'm not about to replace my Media Center, and I already have a Slingbox, so I don't know if this is for me. I like the idea if I didn't already have a PVR.
Does it stream to a WinMo device too? That's a big plus for my existing SB setup. 8)

Yep, that was the announcement at WinHEC. It will support all WM clients at all resolutions. |

You mentioned that you have a Slingbox and a Media Center PC. Can I ask why you don't use Orb or Webguide to stream directly from the WMC/MCE PC to your handheld? I assume the Slingbox "just works", but you don't strike me as that type of person  |

:lol: yeah, it just works. I don't want to mess around with my media center, and the slingbox is easy to setup and configure. It doesn't touch my PVR so there's 0 chance of a conflict that will break my Media Center and cause us to miss recording a show.

Fair enough! Have you hooked up the 360 as an extender yet? It's really nice. I had the old Xbox extender, but it wasn't HD. Now we can watch our recorded HD shows in any room (of course, it's $400/room, but isn't that a small price to pay for freedom?).
