Reply to Why no approval for iPhone SDK? It's about the $$$ on June 30, 2008

Well, I'm not sure what the prognosis for slinging over Edge would be. I think it has to do with what the cellular carriers want more than anything else - the iPhone already consumes far...

Reply to HAVA vs Slingbox on June 27, 2008

ostate said: Here is a good test, call up both Sling and HAVA and talk to their "experts."  I promise that when you talk to HAVA and you ask what type of format they stream...

Reply to Why no approval for iPhone SDK? It's about the $$$ on June 19, 2008

MegaZone said: (I also run GizmoLovers.com). Dude - Blue, yellow and green on a black background? Really? I'd love to read the blog, but I clicked away about 2 seconds after hitting the site to...

Reply to Why no approval for iPhone SDK? It's about the $$$ on June 19, 2008

Yeah, I can't imagine any reason why Apple would block Sling. Equally, I can't imagine any reason why Apple would do anything to encourage Sling. I think Sling is in the exact same boat as...

Reply to New SlingCatcher Details Available on June 17, 2008

ChocoboLee said: I got so tired of waiting for the SlingCatcher that I decided to build one myself. I'm running SlingPlayer for Mac on an old Mac Mini with the Remote Buddy software and a...

Reply to SlingPlayer for iPhone on June 10, 2008

Well, I'm not sure what the situation is concerning Sling being accepted into the beta program. One thing I do know - you don't need Apple's approval to download and use the SDK, but you...

Reply to SlingPlayer for iPhone on June 9, 2008

While I'm a slingbox owner and would love to view cable on my iPhone, I'm not holding much hope out for this arriving any time before my Slingbox becomes irrelevant. Sling has a long history...

Reply to Comcast Considering 250GB Cap on June 3, 2008

Actually, I hope they do implement these caps. Why? Because then they'll create a clear demand for alternatives, and multiple businesses will spring up to fill that demand. Currently, these services are "good enough", so...

Reply to Sling to iTouch with SLR Recorder on June 2, 2008

I think there's some confusion - MMS is the name of both a text-messaging protocol and a video-streaming protocol. While the iPhone does have a third-party app that support MMS, it does not currently have...

Reply to Slingbox Doesn't Go the Distance on May 21, 2008

On the plus side, it doesn't appear as though the TV2ME stream is DRMed like the slingbox, which would allow for some hacking. For example, the stream currently won't play on an iPhone, but it...

Reply to Slingbox Competition on the Horizon on May 3, 2008

Nope, I meant "explode". Regardless of how successful we like to think the Slingbox is, it (and its handful of competitors) represent only a tiny, tiny slice of the potential market. Think of how Apple...

Reply to Recording Slingbox? on April 17, 2008

I love the idea of a slingbox plugin for VLC, but I take it this is PC-only right now? No joy for Linux or Mac? Looks like it's currently dependent on DLLs.

Reply to Trouble downloading Mac SlingPlayer on April 10, 2008

My suggestion is to connect to him via iChat and then ask him to start a "Share Screen" session (Buddies->Ask To Share Remote Screen). This will let you control his Mac. This way you can...

Reply to Anyone know when slingplayer 2.0 will be released? on April 10, 2008

Here's the part I like: the 2.0 version is Windwos-only. God knows when/if a Mac version will ship. My guess is they went completely windows-centric on the original codebase, had to scramble to create a...

Reply to Slingbox Not Looking to Slip In Ads on April 8, 2008

In addition to the ambiguity of "Has no intention of...", there's the added question of what "enhance and compliment [sic]" means. As an example, Comcast thinks it's "enhancing and complementing" my experience when they throw...

Reply to Why we encrypted the stream... on April 8, 2008

I just purchased a slingbox, and registered here. While my slingbox works fine on my Mac, it doesn't work at all with my iPhone. I've brought my old, hulking Treo 700w out from its cave...
