Reply to SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 Public Beta - Unwrapped and Reviewed on August 8, 2008

NA9D said: Agreed 100% on this. The buffer is really tough to control after 60 minutes of buffering. I'd rather see a shorter buffer (say 20 mins) and the scale never shifts. Maybe that'd make...

Reply to SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 Public Beta Released, Reviewed on August 7, 2008

Overall, I really like the new look - it's quite polished. For me, the local buffer (pause and scrubbing) is the most useful new feature. The guide doesn't do much for me - either I'm...

Reply to Why no approval for iPhone SDK? It's about the $$$ on August 5, 2008

Faye said: We've seen the iPhone streaming Sling already, which means Sling have ported the codec (Like they did for OS X and Symbian). The devs just have to switch from the homebrew APIs to...

KidStallyn said: 1. Windows media is TERRIBLE when streamed. Nothing lost here. Slingboxes stream Windows Media... So, I recon quite a bit is lost without native support.

Reply to Sprint Instinct on July 21, 2008

I like the 800w. Was thinking it'd be a good second phone. But Sling doesn't work on it yet and Sprint has seriously adjusted their SERO plan making it harder to get in and more...

Reply to HD TiVo, SlingBox Pro & LCD TV on July 19, 2008

The HDCP flag could be by channel or provider? I always ran HDMI to the TV and component to the Slingbox - and infact, that's what I do now. Sounds like something HBO would do......

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

Dogzilla said: Since they already had their code running on a jailbroken phone, and since they've had access to the SDK for months now, and since apparently the only thing holding them up was SDK...

Reply to I Swear Sling Should be Sued on July 19, 2008

If I earned a dollar each time I saw "class action lawsuit" in a forum...

Reply to HD TiVo, SlingBox Pro & LCD TV on July 19, 2008

ryandh said: I think the Tivo HD can't use HDMI and component at the same time so you'd be best off using component to the HDConnect, then component to the TV. It's a running debate...

Reply to 320x240 V 640x480 on July 13, 2008

640x480 is independent of the HD Connect cable.

Reply to Blackberry / iPhone on July 10, 2008

I'm not aware of any new info... I expect we'll see Blackberry later this year, perhaps in conjunction with RIM's firmware updates. A comment by a Sling VP a few weeks ago suggested an iPhone...

Reply to New SlingCatcher Details Available on June 30, 2008

I can't recall off-hand who else is using EchoStar hardware. I think a satellite vendor in Canada, but can't remember if anyone is Europe is too? That'd probably be the low-hanging fruit if they're already...

Reply to New SlingCatcher Details Available on June 28, 2008

Ken Westmoreland said: I'd like to see the SlingBox and SlingCatcher's features integrated into set top boxes - satellite and terrestrial are the obvious choices as they tend not to be proprietary, although cable and...

Reply to Does Slingbox ever test connections? on June 28, 2008

No way. Sling people only connect to boxes of folks who opt-in (for trouble-shooting, for beta-testing, etc).

Reply to New SlingCatcher Details Available on June 26, 2008

Andy_K said: Whilst I've remained silent for the last 30 months since the SC was announced (it's been talked about for almost 40 months now I guess) I'll play historian... The Catcher was officially announced...

Reply to Using Webcam with Solo on June 24, 2008

If the webcam needs juice, it'll also feed it. It feeds power to my Asus wireless bridge.

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

"Apple is more or less neutral in all of this" I don't know that.

Reply to Echostar/Dish Network DTV Pal on June 18, 2008

I believe DISH Network is handling distribution.

Reply to Engadget reporting iphone proof of concept on June 9, 2008

japanime said: Fantastic! Any idea if this is being developed to work on the iPod touch, too? Yep, works on both. CNET is reporting possibly delivery later this year but more likely early 2009. :/

Reply to Engadget reporting iphone proof of concept on June 8, 2008

I shot a video as well:

Reply to SanDisk kills TakeTV on June 7, 2008

I wouldn't call TakeTV a direct competitor, though I agree with the points that creating a good media extender (experience) is challenging and the category is hard to define. FYI TakeTV didn't handle ANY HD...

Reply to Is anyone else concerned? on June 6, 2008

I'm not concerned. You'd have to watch A LOT of mobile television to hit those caps - which may or may not be enforced...

Reply to Sling Mobile wont connect( Treo 755P) on June 6, 2008

Is your Slingbox still on the default port, or have you changed it? Seem to recall something like that being an issue in some cases/

Reply to Cost of Slinging to rise? on June 4, 2008

Floyd said: I would be interested in knowing if anybody from these communities has a SlingBox or SlingPlayer and how they see this scheme might effect their Internet bill. Slinging probably won't be a problem,...

Reply to Sprint Capping EVDO on May 28, 2008

Service providers frequently insert into monthly statements little packets/brochures with contract updates in text too small to read. By not doing anything, we're agreeing to these new terms. Some folks tried to get out of...

Reply to Full Screen Viewing on Palm Treo755P on May 23, 2008

The Treo 755p has a square screen, television content is rectangular...

Reply to SlingPlayer IR Remote w/Comcast Tivo on May 7, 2008

I've had the remote scanned, but don't have a Comcast-TiVo DVR to test the IR codes against. If interested in checking out the new skin and IR files, drop me an email : davezatz@slingmedia.com
