$300 + the price of the original sling box... umm, i think i will stick with Vista media center, install webguide4 (http://www.asciiexpress.com/), Tuner Free MCE (http://www.milliesoft.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=11) and you got it all, oh yeah and there is the fact that using the mcetuner app v2 (http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/224619.aspx) i can get my 4 tuners all working at once.

So why would i want to have to pay out for a sling box and then a sling catcher which would be far cheaper to use media center, At $300 for a sling catcher if i wanted to drive another TV in the house i would just throw together another cheap pc. Plus then i can use it for far far more.

I think their focus is too domestic. This would be a great device for conferences and exhibitions and the kind of events or places where you want to display media across multiple locations..

I'm thinking about railway stations airports and that kind of thing.. even in large stores maybe?

Have you seen the divx connected platform? slighlty diffirent bag of tricks but does just what your talking about.
