The rainy days stink with just 1 or 2 channels when you are at camp.
Well, under normal circumstances it works great. However, on the Epic, it stinks. Don't know why. It should work great, but it doesn't. You should find it will work great on a laptop. Probably the best way to do it is to use your phone as a modem and view the slingplayer on your laptop.

It really frosts my butt that I can't really use my slingbox OR use TV out with this phone. I can't understand why everytime I buy a phone, there are SO DANG MANY THINGS SCREWED UP AND/OR MISSING (missing like the FM radio, TV out, etc.). Seems like it's Sprint's fault a lot of times. If it weren't for their unlimited data plan, I'd probably bail from Sprint despite the cancellation fees.
