Pros:
Easy to use, video quality great, multiple inputs |

| Cons:
Need good broadband at both ends Slingbox is brilliant. I am watching what is on my home TV right now, while travelling in Asia. The video and audio quality are excellent. The only thing I'm having a little trouble with is changing channels remotely, and it is quite possible that in my hurry to set it up I may have overlooked something. There are multiple inputs as well as a built-in tuner so I can see what is playing on the DVD, the Media Center, or just flip through cable channels. The only reason I rated Ease of Use as a 4 is that the channel doesn't always change. Again, a little tweaking when I get home might fix that. It is one of those things that I wonder how I ever lived without. Go buy one and you'll see what I mean.

Pros:
Pretty good streaming video |

Cons:
Quality of video depends on many factors This is a very cool device. I use it to watch TV when I'm traveling. As well, I also use it to watch TV at home on my laptop (in a different room from my TV) via my home wireless connection.
The video quality at home is excellent (of course it functions at network speeds) when it can stream at about 3 Mbps. When on the road the quality depends on the local download speed. I can sometimes hit 600 Kbps which is pretty good for watching sports. Anything less that 300Kbps and the video will be pretty jerky.
I even have loaded the version of the player on my Treo 700p. The quality here is surprisingly good, but of course the screen is small. The Treo version is useful for setting my TiVo in case I forgot to do so before leaving the house.

Pros:
Tv any time any where |
|
|
|
| Cons:
If someone is watching the home tv the slingbox is attached to you must watch the same channel I use my Slingbox when I travel and even when I am at my office. I was going to buy a phone with Mobitv but decided not to when they told me there was a monthly charge and there are only certin channels avalible. I loaded the Slingbox on my PDA and my laptop and have ben enjoying it ever since. GREAT PRODUCT!
