The nice thing about the sling is that it is more expensive and does less. Who wouldn't like that? Included with every sling is lower resolution output, no media center support, extra cost for mobile player and no multiple local streams. Yup, sounds like you got a real winner. Did you hear about the new sling announced at this years ces? Your going to be able to control your record player and tape deck all at the same time. Your gonna need a 14.4 modem and a dedicated phone line but hopefully they announce an ethernet adapter in the near future.

Ahh but it does control media center. Your can control your pc direct or you can control an xbox 360 and go to the media center blade. I run it thru my XBox. Also is a good way to stream netflix movies.
As for multiple local streams...Can someone explain to me the point of this? Why in the world would you want to stream the EXACT same show on 5 pc's / phones in the SAME house? Wouldnt it kinda make sense that if 5 of you are gonna watch the same show you may wanna try sitting in the same room and watching an actual tv?
BTW, local and remote viewing on sling has excellent picture quality, especially with a 3 mb upload
Almost forgot, when you buy a sling, if you call customer service they'll give you the mobile player free for being a new customer.
