Anyone else seen this SlingBox thingie? That looks freakin' sweet!

I wonder if it can combine in with PVR software so you can stream to a remote pc to record.. It says bestbuy will be carrying them wonder if futureshop will have them in canada..

Well hello doctor...

This is sweet. Judging by the article I can't see why you couldn't use PVR software.

Geez...the possabilities of this are limitless - including a whole new realm of file sharring only this time with premium movie channels etc. Perhaps we'll finally have access to HBO

Gotta say this is the first thing that's made me interested in a wifi PDA

Gentlemen, hold your orgasms.

Hmm, the article has nothing I didn't already know about the device, and I still dig it for a few reasons:

1) At $250US it is going to be probably less than a standalone PC to setup and do the same thing, uses less power, quieter, built in OS..

2) The UI sounds pretty slick from what I have read. Granted, with the cheap version of the PC you could get mythtv or whatever, but I've learned if the software isn't specifically targeted to an application, it usually doesn't do it very well..

Now, it is totally possible to config a pc to do the same thing, but at the very least it will be near the same cost, then there is factoring the time and annoyance to get the damn thing working.. I'd rather have something plug and play!
