Great product but not HD compatable out of the box [Posted on 2008-06-20]
When I buy a device that says "HD Compatable" on the front of the box I expect it to work with HD.
When you open the box you find out you need an HD adapter sold separately.
Pretty good [Posted on 2008-06-27]
You have to be prepared for a lengthy setup process, but once finished it works pretty well. Only problem is that you need a very fast connection and even then the video quality will be iffy. I'd hoped to be able to hook the laptop up to a tv in a hotel room, but the quality definitely is not that good -- even in full-screen mode on a laptop it will be blurry.
GREAT REPLACEMENT FOR TV AT THE OFFICE [Posted on 2008-06-30]
It works as advertised, and I am watching my home tv's at my office. Screen is not as clear as the one at home, but accepable. This is a great product. Rember that you need two tv's at home, and one of them should be available for your Sling if you want to enable others like your wife to watch her own tv. Sling controls tv at home remote, and vice versa. If you are single, don't worry about this. Only one tv's ok. Slinglink turbo powerline kit and HD connect cable made it easier to install.
Amazing idea, but the video quality is a different story. [Posted on 2008-07-14]
The functionality of the Slingbox Pro is great. It was very easy to set up and the help menus walked me through any questions that I had that weren't covered by their quick start guide.
It's great to be able to access my cable tv through the laptop wherever I go, or at home.
What didn't meet my expectations is the video quality. I have a high resolution screen on a macbook pro and mistakenly expected to see better quality video using the Slingbox Pro. The picture is a bit fuzzy and text is not all that easy to read. It's definitely not the DVD experience.
Worth $200 [Posted on 2008-07-15]
For the price, this is worth it. I work in many remote locations without TV or american TV. This product gives me TV wherever I am in the world, as long as I have internet. The picture quality is not great unless you have a really good internet connection on both ends, but it is better than no tv at all. I love the fact that there is no monthly fees. Sling media support was very helpful in helping me get everything set up, they did it remotely. Well worth the price.
