My guess is that there are a lot of very happy folks in the US with the latest release of SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA.  Although it is currently for US cusomers only, one can only expect that it will be available for the rest of you soon.  There are some cool new features that offer a lot more functionality.  Supposedly you can watch and control TV on your PC with “more flexibility, fun, and even greater control”.

These are the great new and improved features:

Live Video Buffer—Control Live TV
The new Live Video Buffer with DVR-like control allows you to easily pause, rewind or fast-forward, up to 60 minutes of video on your PC, right from SlingPlayer. (Not yet available for Mac).

The Guide—See What’s On
The SlingPlayer Guide is just like your programming guide at home but is built right into the SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA software. So you can easily find what’s on without having to use your TV’s programming guide or the remote control. (Not yet available for Mac).
