    Hmm, If this is approved, with me getting my first iPhone a couple weeks ago, it might tempt me to see if I can find a cheap Sling. Having TV everywhere sounds nice to me.

    It better be....AT&T needs to stop dictating what can and can't get approved to Apple. Fuck you AT&T. You shouldn't be able to stop me from using Sling through your network either....

    @TheSonOfKrypton: when has ATT dictated what could be in the app store?

    @SamburgerHandwich: Popular theory is ATT required the Skype app to be WiFi only for fear of tying up their bandwith and not charging by the minute for it.

    In reply to Sling Monitor HD Display Slurps Up Video Wirelessly Anywhere in Your House
    I just got the Slingbox Pro HD yesterday. I hooked it up to a 1080i component source and digital audio. I installed the Sling player on a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo/NVIDIA 8800 GTS Windows XP box. Everything was hard-wired on gigabit ethernet. Via configuration, I maxed out the Sling Pro's send bitrate at 20 Mbps. I played around with all kinds of settings...


    I was viewing the feed on a high-quality 1920x1200 Dell LCD. Seems like, regardless of what I could do, I couldn't get the video to be 100% fluid and "stutter" free. It was good, overall, with reasonable quality and no bad compression artefacts (SDTV relatively stunk though). Overall, it was not passable, for me, in terms of a true "Semi-wireless HDMI" substitute.


    I'm a very picky videophile. If you are too, then I have doubts that Sling is an adequate solution for you.

    Anybody else have problems with stuttering, slightly jumpy video when slinging 1080i? It's *almost* there... but not quite. Still not as good as direct HDMI connection from STB to TV.

    @bucho54: Buy one. You won't be disappointed.

    I used mine during the SoCal wildfires of 2007. We were under mandatory evacuation, so I watched the news from my home TiVo on my laptop at the hotel we evacuated to. I knew so long as I was watching TV 'slung' from my home, it was still standing.

    @axiomatic: Apple has nothing to do with it. We (Sling) are still developing the iPhone client and it is coming along nicely. When it is complete we'll submit it to the App Store like everyone else.

    Has there been an explanation on the delay for an iPhone app? Sling demoed an alpha version last year but there have been no updates since then. This is the first thing that has actually made me jealous of my friends' blackberries (plural sp?).


    The only thing I can come up with is that Apple won't allow them to develop it because it will compete with iTunes rentals. With the Joost and TV apps that have come out in the past few weeks, and a Hulu app rumored on its way, this argument doesn't seem to hold up.


    Maybe we will hear more info soon, as the first paragraph mentioned, its been a year from alpha to beta for this as well...

    @m.adam.iub: People seem to suffer from time dilation. ;-)


    The iPhone proof of concept was demo'd just a few months ago, not last year. The iPhone client is in development and progressing nicely. We're not releasing any dates at this time. (We - I'm a Beta Program Manager at Sling, running the BB beta in fact.)
