Best way to watch tv

Get a Hava platinum - I got mine on sale at amazon for 80 bucks out the door.

Slingbox sucks, it's harder to setup and the mobile player costs extra. Have is cheaper and better and I didn't have to touch my router to get it working. The quality is better than a sling. I have owned and used both. Only issues right now are the mobile player won't work in landscape on a touch pro which hopefully they fix soon. Also the remote connection quality needs to be improved. Local is faboulus - but for the price you can't go wrong - mobile player is free

well hava has crappy support no doubt, and they really suck on mobile support, but it does work. I too had a landscape problem with th TP and Hava but downloaded the 640x480 version and it seems to work, you may try that. I tried the other "touch" files and they both had issues. Try the other file. the local viewing is great but alas the remote viewing does at least work, although the software lacks a few things.

I have been using slingplayer mobile for about 3 years now. DSL connection at home with home line ethernet routing the slingbox to the dsl modem. Works great with a Sprint EVDO connection on the PPC6700, PPc6800 and the Touch Pro. No connection issues. I did keep the firmware on the slingplayer at the first one that supported 16:9 ratios as it seemed to have the best quality/speed. Perhaps thats the problem you ran into. One of the more recent firmware updates appeared to introduce disconnect errors on the device.

Exactly. I have a coworker who uses orb and Hava on his mogul and can't believe the picture I get with my TP. I had it on in my wifes vehicle this weekend so the kids could watch Noggin on a long drive. I used the tv out cable and it came in awesome on the screens.
