A good remote is something you never have to look down at. This is a terrible remote.

Sling is really going down the toilet. Where is the Palm webOS app? How about an update to the WinMo software?]]>Jan 7th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/slings-ces-showing-gives-us-a-touch-of-optimism/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/slings-ces-showing-gives-us-a-touch-of-optimism/
I'd like to 2nd that request for an update to Windows Mobile client as well.

Even more pressing however would be a firmware update for the SlingCatcher. I'd like to see them do away with the OPT button on the SlingCather remote to get at extra remote buttons on the devices original remote and instead have an onscreen remote for the SlingCatcher like they do on the desktop SlingPlayer app.

Now for the dream...being able to play IFO and VOB files on the SlingCatcher so that one could simply rip their DVD library to their network and then play them natively.]]>Jan 7th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/slings-ces-showing-gives-us-a-touch-of-optimism/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/slings-ces-showing-gives-us-a-touch-of-optimism/
Reading the bottom of my SlingCatcher box:
file Formats: .avi, .vob, .ifo, .ps, .ts, mpg, . wmv, .asf, .mov, .mp4, .m4v, .mp3, .wma, .mp4a, .m4a, .wav

I know you can get this from an attached drive, and I believe it works via network as well (My NAS stinks).

I actually would prefer .ISO images, as that's how I rip them disks.
