I'm the guy that corresponded with SlingMedia and sent it over to Engadget. I hope you all enjoy the update that Sling was so hesitant to provide us with.
In response to Matt, the 2008 CES had the announcement of a Slingbox Pro-HD which will Sling in HD within the network. To sling in HD outside the network, they said you basically need a 2Mbps upload speed or higher. I understand it won't be in HD, as I'm slinging from an HD cable box in CT to NJ and I have the Slingbox Solo. But I also understand that using my laptop and s-video out is degrading the quality that's possible. Now, when Fios becomes available in CT, if I can get my parents to switch, I would consider upgrading to the Slingbox Pro-HD, despite the speculated $400 price tag. Especially then, I would want the SlingCatcher built into my setup. It would integrate well with my Harmony One. Heck, I would consider buying two SlingCatchers and integrate one into my bedroom setup and my Harmony 880.
