The SlingPlayer (1.1.0.153) is a UK download for the moment but it seems to work fine with my US box.
The new player has a link to Sling Central, an online resource of skins, tool bars, and tutorials. Check it out here.

This new SlingPlayer app works fine although I wouldn't recommend flashing the PAL firmware onto a non-PAL slingbox...
Atten FAA employees:
Sling/OpenVPN is possible through the FAA government proxy server via TCP port443 using either amcproxy.faa.gov:8080 or awaproxy.faa.gov:8080...still working as of Sep08 (DOES NOT Work w/SlingPlayer2.0!)
Good point, maybe I should have mentioned that!

Just so there's no confusion, this information was *not leaked* to me. I went to slingbox.com and it asked if my region was US, Canada, UK, or Taiwan. I picked UK and saw some *unusual* things. :) Then I came here and read of folks buying Slingboxes in the UK.
Not sure why the site, PAL box, and software went live without a press anouncement though... perhaps some wires got crossed. Probably safe to assume we'll have at least one, maybe more, official announcement next week.
I haven't checked the Canadian or Taiwanese sites yet... maybe I should do that now.

If the price conversion site I'm looking at is right, a Slingbox in Taiwan will cost you $1100?!

EDIT: Oops... that was converted to Yuan. Taiwan New Dollars comes in at a more reasonable $295. :)
(For the moment, the Canadian option redirects to the regular US site. Not sure if that is intentional and/or temporary.)

I'm in Canada, and the newest version of SlingPlayer works fine on my system, however, I have noticed some things that need to be improved or fixed. See my post in this topic: http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/13203/?page=1
Hooray! Now I can watch TV in fullscreen on my second monitor while working on my main monitor. The skins are okay, but the fullscreen capability is the best. Finally!
Is there any reason this version hasn't been released specifically for US customers yet? I mean, c'mon, this was released in the UK 4, going on 5 months ago.

There's already been two US Betas that support all of these features and more, including the skinnable interface. You can download it here.
As far as skins go, SlingCommunity currently has 27 skins available for download in the Projects area, and any SC user can submit more directly to the community! Check them out!

The UK version isn't in beta... I don't check the website for the beta versions, I wait for my client to notify me a new version came out, and it never did.
Why is this Release in the UK, and Beta in the US?
Still only 320x240 resolution when in 4:3. No amount of bit rate will help the image quality at this low of a resolution. :(
