I'll throw this out there...

I was recently upgraded by Sprint Customer Care from the Mogul to the new HTC Touch. Same issues. It isn't *as bad* on the Touch, but the video quality still isn't up to par with what I've seen on other PDA's. The audio/video sync issue isn't as bad, either, but it's still there. In other video applications where I have a choice between Direct Draw and GDI, Raw Framebuffer, etc., there's a clear difference between Direct Draw and the other choices. Everything else works fine, but Direct Draw has a very low frame rate (one, sometimes two frames per second at its best).

I know the Mogul and Touch are pretty much the same device at the core, so it's not too surprising the issues also exist on the Touch.

I would like to know too if this is ever gonna get resolved.  Is Slingbox going to update the player for the Mogul or do we have to wait and cross our fingers to see if that it will be fix on another rom update from HTC ? IM getting fustrated from waiting and hearing no answers.

it really makes no sense, mods posted in this thread that sling would be working on fixing this situation and that was months ago.  all they need to do is allow is to have more adjustments like other media players

Well, it's been six months since I bought the Mogul. Since then, absolutely nothing has happened and now the Touch exhibits the same problems to the same degree. I've heard nothing from Sling about getting this fixed and I've heard nothing from Sprint/HTC about DirectDraw even being a problem. Given that, it's obvious that if Sprint users want this fixed, they're going to have to fix it themselves which means abandoning Sling for something that works. To that end, Orb is pretty much a complete pain in the ass to use and a CPU hog, but once it's streaming, you can use TCPMP which works perfectly on these devices. Sprint TV also works pretty well, for what it is, and it has a half decent channel lineup. So goodbye, Sling. It was fun while it lasted but you had six months to get off your asses and do something and you completely ignored Sprint users. Now this Sprint user is taking the hint. I'll urge other Sprint users to do the same.

I jus wanna give ya an update.. I just returned my Sling AV for a Sling Solo . Now everything seems running nice and smooth on my Sprint Mogul. Especially when streaming from a Fios HD setbox .

So, I just added a mogul from the 700wx that I have used for over a year.  Not sure if the mogul is worse, I WILL say that video quality in LANDSCAPE mode seems better than in Portrait, which doesn't make a while lotta sense?  I'll keep testing it out, not sure if the mogul is the device for me though.

So, I guess I have been biten by this bug too.  The audio and video run amuk out of sync most of the time, it isn't a HUGE deal, but annoying NTL. 

Gee, I wish something could be done, but maybe the engineering effort has been on getting the SPM for iphone out?

Yeah, this is video driver related.

I just signed it. - I read on Pocketnow that HTC might actually do something to address the issue in Feb '08.

My wife and I both signed as well
