Another Slingbox Question

[chnzshyguy]

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?

You do need to buy the hardware and THEN buy the software

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.

You can only have one connection to a Slingbox at a time. I don't know how 2 slingboxes would work on the same network, but I'm sure it's possible.

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

I have the slingbox AV and it only supports composite inputs. There is a slingbox HD, but I don't have experience with that. For On-Demand, you just need to make sure slingbox has a IR code for your receiver. The IR code maps the slinbox to the remote you have at home.

4) Any good comments about it?

The picture quality on the PDA is not as good as the quality on a computer attached to a landline. This is mostly because of bandwidth though. The slingplayer's functionality on the PDA is more than sufficient.[/b]
