I have the SB Pro (not the HD, that was not available at the time). I have it hooked up with the component cables from my HD cable box & also straight from my cable line.

This gives me two different video input options as the Pro SB has an internal tuner. If I pick the cable box as the input for SlingMobile, I get all the premium channels (HBO, all the on demand channels etc etc) but the Sling channel has to be the same channel as the home TV.

If I pick the cable as the input, then I can watch a DIFFERENT channel than the home TV is on although it is limited to basic cable channels (no HBO etc)

I probably would have bought the HD if it was available at the time although it gives no advantage whatever on a cell phone & that's really the only thing I use my SB for.

I would not recommend the Sling Link wireless setup. I tried that briefly & at least in my house it totally sucked. It worked, but my SlingMobile reception was terrible & it dropped the connection constantly.
