So, you've been desperately searching and hoping for a way to connect your SlingCatcher into your wireless network router, right? Well back at CES in January, the company showed off a little accessory called the SlingLink Wireless -- a device that would do just that. Unfortunately, details were scarce. Things may be changing, however, as the adapter just appeared on Sling's UK site looking all fancy and official. There doesn't seem to be any indication of a price (last we heard it was $49.99), release date, or regional availability, and when we contacted Sling, they didn't seem to know much more than what the page conveys... and then pulled the info from the site. Oh well -- thank goodness for Google's cache.

I've done 3 betas for them & love the software, but it just doesn't seem that they're producing much hardware. W/ competent competitors like Popcorn Hr I just don't feel they're moving fast enough.
Design-wise they're appealing, but you've got to do more than show stuff @ CES & still expect people to wait around.
How would one go about signing up for one of their betas?
I don't know how or why but there are some goblins up in this mess, some goblins!
So, I'm still going to make the assumption that the slinglink wireless adapter should also work with all the slingbox's with a usb port?
You know what happens when you assume. )( = U+Me
Why bother buying one of the SlingCatcher.. a REfursbished PC is goign for $200-$300 range.. put a PC next to TV and you ahve more than just a few tricks, instead you ahve the whole package.
