Needless to say, I use my SlingCatcher constantly. After a few hours, it gets so hot that it reboots. The bottom of the SlingCatcher is almost untouchable at this point. I went to Best Buy and picked up a belkin laptop cooling pad, powered by USB. After 4 hours of watching Purdue Beat Michigan, the bottom of the Sling Catcher is cooler than my beer.

Just an fyi...
