Never used it. Sorry

Justin.tv uses flash, so you would need a browser that supports flash. As of now I think Skyfire is the way to go.

I am afraid I will have to second ORB. No extra cost for a sling box, no additional player to use, for the price of a TV card you have access to any channels you would have at home, plus the TV guide, the ability to program shows DVR-like, and you can view on your laptop/work computer (not suggested unless you are not threatened by being jobless in this economy) or any mobile phone capable of streaming video. Plus there is the fact that you can access your local items that are on your computer. (Burned DVD's that you may have on the hard drive for example.)

I used this. Works very well.

I've also used Orb. It's free and works very well. You can share live TV feeds, plus music and pictures from your PC. You do need some sort of way to get TV into your PC, but you can usually get them pretty cheap (<$30). Anything you do will work one of two ways - a box that has an input for video and ethernet (much like a slingbox) or a PC with input for video and ethernet. There's really not any other way to do it.

I had really hoped that the invention of IPTV would mean that I could plug AT&T's U-Verse ethernet connection directly into a Media Center PC, but alas, you still need a set-top box and must then run analog inputs to a TV tuner on the PC. Sigh.

slingbox, hands down. sling hd is nutz. goto know how to set it up. for justintv, i use juggalos opera build with flash and its way better than skyfire. also good for clearclips. lol

Slingbox for sure. Ive used orb and a program called MY-IPTV and slingbox blows them both away. If anyone uses the pc that orb's on you'll either lose your signal or get garbage quality. MY-IPTV lagged horribly and had no way to optimize the stream. Ive never lost my slingbox connection even when Im down to 1 bar on my signal and having a dedicated ethernet line means no matter who's using what internet wise in my house I still get great quality. Also, having the ability to program my dvr from my phone is much better than using my pc as a dvr. This way I can watch my recordings on my TV without hooking my pc up to it.

I vote SlingBox too, I have the Solo and the 720p signal through component is pretty good across my MacBook Pro, my PC and my Touch Pro. I wish Sling would make a better version of the mobile SlingPlayer (true VGA support and video performance, but that's HTC's job).

It's as close as to the TV you can get, instead of the actual TV, it's whatever you are using.

When I had sling the audio would lag very badly. It also took longer to set up. Hava has better picture quality period. If you look at the specs it will stream in a higher rez. They do have some issues to work on for remote quality and the mobile player but this can be fixed via firmware update which will hopefully be soon. Take a look for yourself
