I didn't go with apple TV but with another PC I had laying around. I have the PC actually in the office on the other side of the wall that my TV and component rack is on. A $49 wireless BTC keyboard/thumbstick combo is the ultimate remote control. I had planned to integrate the SlingCatcher into my system when it FINALLY released...but not for $300! Sure my SlingBox Pro is great. Worked like a champ until I loaded the 2.0 software. Not that my SlingBox locks up all the time now but it NEVER did before 2.0. I'm just not willing to pay twice what I think a product is worth to be their beta tester.

I got tired of waiting on SlingMedia's delays on the SlingCatcher and bought an Apple TV instead.
I can't help but think that pushing back the release date repeatedly turned off some buyers.
That's exactly what I did. I installed xbmc and I couldn't be happier!
