Sling gets 46m investment from Echostar, etc.

Not that we were worried about those guys, but for those interested in the higher level goings on of Sling Media, makers of the Slingbox, they just got a $46.6 million cash infusion from a number of notable investors, including Mobius, The Hearst Corporation, and Echostar. Yeah, that Echostar, who pumped Archos full of $10 million last year. You know, we're kind of liking where they're going with their investments of late (well, most of them, anyway), and we really hope they're doing what we think they're doing -- namely, you know, enabling some real-world-useful content delivery mechanisms for their customers.
