Ask and ye shall receive! In my experience the Sling folks have been tuned in to their customer’s desires from day one. For example, over on AVS Forum we said we needed W2K support — a week later we had it. So when numerous people requested Mac support, Sling was listening. Today a Mac OSX version of the SlingPlayer will be unveiled near MacWorld. The free software should drop by summer.

Are there any sites that compare what a SlingBox does to what TiVo is doing? Can I buy a SlingBox and get rid of my TiVo?
Oh yeah... ENTER ME.
Slingbox is more an accessory to your Tivo. You record stuff on the TiVo, and then Slingbox is a gateway between the TiVo and the network. Leave home. Tivo records something. You log onto your slingbox across the internet. You use a software remote (see above picture) to control the tivo, and start playign the show you want to watch.
Now you're watching all the stuff that's on your TiVo, in the comfort of your hotel room. Or desk at work. Or your buddy's house, etc.
Does anyone know the advantages of using slingbox over orb to watch your tivo shows? Is it more stable? I can watch tivo shows saved to my computer and on my tivo and can already watch them on my Dell Axim.
