It's a little early for an announcement really, but that's what CES is all about. Most of what we see at CES won't make it to retail until mid to late 2008 anyhow. This one is no different...

Slingbox PRO-HD
The people have spoken! They want HD and we're gonna give it to them.

Slingbox PRO-HD includes multiple inputs and outputs, including digital audio and a digital (ATSC/QAM) tuner. Not only will the Slingbox PRO-HD stream up to 1080i content and 5.1 surround within the home to a computer, it can also be used to ship high-def material to another HDTV via our forthcoming SlingCatcher. In addition, the lucky ones with super highspeed broadband connectivity, such as FiOS, will get similar HD quality streaming to remote locations. Slingbox PRO-HD is slated for a Q3 release @ $399.99 (USD).

That's pretty cool but I wonder if the remote viewing quality is any better. It hasn't been improved in any of the new models and the most recent is the same as the original. It's not bad but I wish it was better.
