Yep, classic works fine for me, too. I use mine either with the phone or over the internet and the slingbox outputs much faster than the cable modem upload speeds, let alone the phone download speed. Since I don't use it on the local 100 mbs network, there's no point in paying for speed and features I don't use. To watch widescreen content, I simply flip the player to letterbox mode. Sure, it's not HD, but it's also not a 50" plasma screen and I don't notice any real loss.

Edit: There's no RCA input on the classic. There's coax for the internal tuner, S-Video and composite inputs.
