Slingbox?
Do you use it?

I am getting into sling media stuff now that I have the Slingbox AV and I have to say, why have I waited so long.

No. I don't own one. And unfortunately, I don't see myself owning one anytime in the near future. I have been spending way too much money on toys as of late. I sure would love to own one though.

No, but pretty much only because I don't have the spare money to invest in one, otherwise I would.

I wonder how it would work on my Treo 700wx in a non-EVDO area? See, Houston has EVDO coverage but it hasn't migrated east to Beaumont quite yet. Anyway, I tried using Orb in my area and it was complete garbage. Very jerky. Very unwatchable. I would think that using a Slingbox might be better but I don't know that for sure.

Definitely want to try this out. Just don't have the need for it at this time.

Hmmm.... The Slingbox is pretty nice but based on what it does I am not sure if I would invest in one. My HTPC box pretty does the same thing.

I am running a 2.85GHz XP Pro system with the following items installed:
1GB of RAM
750GB HDD
2 Hauppauge PVR-150 tuner cards
1 Hauppauge PVR USB tuner
(total of 3 hardware encoder tuners)

I am using BeyondTV for all of my PVR functions and I use ORB for all of my media sharing. I currently use ORB today to stream live TV as well as recorded movies, MP3's and Pictures to any remote device including my smartphone. I came in handy as I had to take my daughters skating but a really important Tigers game was one that I wanted to watch. So I watched it on my phone while my daughters was skating. My BeyondTV setup will also allow LiveTV streaming as well as streaming recorded video (WMV or DiVX). I prefer ORB streaming as it is more flexible.

I am pretty happy with my setup and I am not really sure of a Slingbox will add anything extra for me. Seems pretty nifty though.

Thanks, I am always looking to better my HTPC. I just ran CAT 5 cable to my bedroom to use my MediaMVP to watch all of my DiVX/MPEG movies on my bedroom TV. I am now starting to load my favorite DVD's to my HDD on my HTPC in my basement. This will allow me to watch DVD movies on my bedroom TV straight from my HTPC using a sort-of on-demand type of setup found in hotels. I won't have to load up another DVD to watch a movie. I am thinking of getting another HDD just for my DVD's.

Man, it never stops.....

SO Chris, which Slingbox did you get? I've been toying with getting the Sling Pro to route HiDef to my new laptop so I can watch TV in my bedroom. My concern is how well the HiDef will travel over WiFi. Any thoughts on this?

I have DishHD and a DVR.

I got the AV.

I will talk with Sling about HD over WiFi, I cannot see that being a problem at all.
