Slingcatcher: The Ultimate HD Streamer/File Player

So how are you supposed to get HD into this thing? It doesn't have an HDMI input, and most cable boxes deactivate the component video outputs when an HDMI cable is connected. Am I missing something?

@canadianco: With SlingPlayer for TV you can watch video from any device connected to your Slingbox (cable / satellite / DVR / DVD player). You can use SlingCatcher with your home TV ... or any TV anywhere in the world. Quote from their website

@canadianco: Funny that's what I did too (install at parents place) but mixing the two would be sweet. It would be nice to watch cubs games on tv not lappie.

I was looking into the TakeTV, but this might be a better solution!

@canadianco: That is the real question. I'm looking at doing the reverse set-up as my parents would be more comfortable watching my local news (on the other side of the counrty) on their tv, not pc.

@St3v3: It was announced at CES 2007 as planned for a late 2007 release. But later in 2007 they announced that it was being pushed back to 2008 because they bit off more than they could chew in product development all at once. It is now slated for 2Q08 @ $249.99.

Can I plug this in to my TV and watch the feed from the Slingbox I installed in my parent's house?

Wasn't this thing supposed to come out last year? Any date on this thing? Slingmedia talks about the Slingcatcher like it's the giant living in the hillside. It's legend has been passed down through the generations but yet it remains awfully scarce.

My father in law just dumped a huge ass TV on me and significant other. I will now sneak this next to the TV, and all will be well...
