SLING SUCKS]]>Feb 24th 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/
I sense much anger in you, young one.]]>Feb 24th 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/
Dont' really need the force to tell you that I guess. I had a very frustrating weekend with sling. ]]>Feb 24th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/Feb 24th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/1. Allow a single user to move their TV experience with them
2. Tune ClearQAM or ATSC signals independently
3. Put a TV somewhere there's no wiring by locating a dedicated cable box and Slingbox at a location with cable for it

Even if it's only for DishNetwork people, which would be ludicrously stupid, they will end up on Ebay for $20 over list, unless they are locked down to only talk to 922/722/622s, but I doubt this would be the case, as the SlingLoaded DishDVRs will work with any Sling Client, so I'd imagine the opposite would also be true.]]>Feb 24th 2010 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/They could give a eff you see kay about the people that already bought their craptacular products and receive basically no support at all, and no software updates (except for iphone -- that's it). They have yet to release a compatible viewer for SymbianS60v5 (been out for 2 years now, one of most popular smart phone OS in the world in terms of sales) or Android. They announced that an android player would be coming 2 years ago -- nothing. Then at CES someone asked their fat grey haired idiot CEO and he said it would be coming "soon" -- yeah okay Mr. douche bag.

If you are a cable company or a content provider thinking about picking up Sling products, I highly suggest you take a look at their user support forums and even the feature request forums and see just how many users are upset with the support of their products.]]>Feb 24th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/
I first was exposed to Sling technology when I lived in Hong Kong and noticed that Asia was one of the first markets for these chaps. I think it's because so much of Asia is about fragmentation, dislocation and lifestyles that allow for disconnection from wired devices. ]]>Feb 24th 2010 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/Feb 24th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/sling-monitor-150-hits-the-fcc/Feb 25th 2010 10:25AM
