Reply to New SlingCatcher Details Available on June 26, 2008

Add me to the list of just wanting the SlingCatcher to display Slingbox content on a TV with a remote as AusRob stated. From what I have read on the other features they are going...

Reply to Network Logos on July 10, 2007

MachBoy, One way to get "other" logos is from Lyngsat. Although, not as "polished" as the ones that come with the SlingPlayer, but they are localized for your respective area. The link for logos for...

Orig_Club_Soda, Yes, it can be done, although, I haven't done it myself as I don't have an extra Mac to use as a dedicated server. But, from what I have read is that you can...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on October 12, 2006

Let's see, using a very rough estimation since SlingPlayer first came out there have been 5 different versions for the Slingplayer covering applications for handhelds and windows and 3 new hardware products. All of these...

Deleted, as capaho beat me to post.

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on October 4, 2006

Mid-November??? At that rate, Sling might as well wait until MacWorld in January as it will give them some good exposure and press that they have a Mac client for their product, oh, wait, they...

Let the race begin. Sony's new Location Free models are estimated on Amazon to be released on 10/15/06 and they already have a Mac client versus the infamous Mac Slingplayer still in "private" beta...

Linefeed, Your are correct in your assumption. Units on the shelves, at least at the Best Buy near my office, and can be purchased showing Mac Logos. But no Mac software, links to Mac Slingplayer...

NA9D, I am comfortable in my armchair, but yes, I am a lawyer, evidently, you are not. No angst, works fine on my XP, but the law is the law. I did not write it,...

Dear Dave, No, I am not here to pick a fight and my point was that innocent Mac consumers that are not in the know are out there today purchasing the new hardware based on...

JT, As regards to the packaging showing Mac Logos, have you ever heard of "the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose"? DA

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 28, 2006

Jeremy, That would be at least false and misleading advertising if the Mac logos are on the box and there is not the software released to actually use the product. I guess it was easier...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 28, 2006

Since the new Slingboxes have the Mac logo on them indicating Mac compatabilty and can actually be purchased, I will just assume that the box is/was "misquoted". Sorry could not resist a little attempt at...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 28, 2006

I am finding the Sling marketing "semantics" quite enterntaining with regards to the infamous Mac client. If one clicks on the link that SohoTrader provided, it states bascially that the Mac SlingPlayer available soon, however,...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 27, 2006

I am a little confused. There are new Slingboxes on shelves and avertised on Amazon, although, not being able to be purchased yet, that are stating on the box that they are compatible with both...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 26, 2006

Dave, No clarification required on who said what and when. All I was saying is that the silence is from the fact that a lot of time passes from their respective updates. Don't get me...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 26, 2006

Still makes me wonder where there so-called Mac resources have gone since January. Yes, I know that there is a beta going on, but Sling has yet to "officially" say that they are going to...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on September 19, 2006

Although, a private beta is by definition "private", but something is wrong with this whole situation and Sling just appears that the Mac consumers are second class to the Windows world. They can blame the...

Reply to It's official--Mac Slingplayer out this week! on September 18, 2006

billin, Although, I think that you answered the question that you asked, but yes, the current Location Free is already Mac-friendly and can be found on Ebay for around $139.00. I think that I am...

Reply to It's official--Mac Slingplayer out this week! on September 15, 2006

There is some conflict on this subject. If you look at the latest post in the "sling shows mac" thread in the rumors form, the post is stating that the CEO was "misquoted" and the...

Reply to Mac Release on September 6, 2006

I agree totally with byron, this has gone on way too long. Sure there would be delays, but I now question what type of "mock-up" was actually used during Macworld way back in January. They...

Reply to Mac Release on August 27, 2006

Dear NA9D, You might want to take it down a notch on your bashing of people who did actually purchase a product based on something that a company did promise. These users are supporters of...

Reply to Sling Media Shows SlingPlayer Mac on August 23, 2006

I find it a bit disappointing that Slingmedia can get out yet another mobile platform to access a Slingobox as well as consistant betas for the Window platform. Yet, as for the Mac platform, they...

Reply to Wrong Favorite Channels on June 18, 2006

Grendell, Many thanks. I changed it from "fast" to "slow" and all is working. Always something so simple, should have thought about that myself. Thanks again. Bill

Reply to Slingbox on "Boot Camp" on April 6, 2006

boundboy, Yes, it does work in Virtual PC. A liitle sluggish on performance, but does work. I only have the Windows 2000 version of VPC and I can use it, though the native version on...
