Re: Another Slingbox Question

Hello all,
Im debating on getting a sling box, and wanted to reach out to someone who actually uses it with a few questions.

1) I noticed that they were selling the software to play it on thier website for $30... does this mean if I wanted to use it, I need to get the hardware for $200+ and the software for Pocket PC and Smartphone at $30 each?

Yup, you buy the device then the software for PPC

2) Ive seen a few questions around this but no definent answer, can my wife and I both connect to the slingbox at the same time? or will we need 2 box's.

One connection at a time

3) Does it support full digital cable (assuming yes as the site says)? On-Demand?

If you get the Pro (I think that's the one I had) the onscreen remote control thing lets you do everything you could do from your couch

4) Any good comments about it?

I took it back.. Do a google search on slingbox port scans, and you'll see why... The device was actually scanning my network almost non stop...

Ill keep reading the mess of other posts until someone replys.
Thanks
