I think I would rather just keep slinging my home television to my 6700... but that's just me... :wink:

I subscribed/installed yesterday and so far have had no problems using my T-Mobile MDA with Edge service. I haven't done intensive testing yet but will next week while traveling on vacation.

Sure, the Slingbox is a great option for many people. In my case, though, the cable tuner may be used in a different capacity at home when I want to watch it. I think it's great an increasing number of options are available for the mobile user.

yeah I understand that... I am lucky... I have 3 cable boxes in my place, so the one I am hooked to with my slingbox, no one is ever using. I guess I am lucky! 400 hundred channels on my 6700 at any time! Perfect! :D
