I've tried to get Sling to work in Vmware in many different ways, but I have a feeling that VMware Fusion doesn't implement VMR, which is the engine used to render the video. Even if the option is unchecked in the slingplayer software, the other video engine doesn't render properly, either, in a virtual environment. Thus, the picture always looks blocky or pixelated. I've tried it on Windows XP and on Windows 7, and the result is always the same. My only solution is to boot directly into Windows using BootCamp. If anyone has success getting quality streaming, I'd love to hear how it was done.

maybe NA9D will chime in here, I think he has done some of the most extensive testing on using proHD to a mac via virtualization techiques, and knowledge of the various codecs and video protocols and what is even POSSIBLE with the mac using BC or VM or other.

NA9D, the bat signal is up.
