Yes, there are many ways to connect a PC directly to a TV, that is not the issue. The issue is doing this with the two in completely different rooms and still having a usable remote control interface. If Sling Catcher can do that, it will be well worth $200.

My nVidia card has s-video (and DVI of course) outs that I connect directly to my TV for the price of $0 (I already had the $9 cable). With the right settings in the driver it goes full-screen on the TV whenever appropriate. How much easier can it get?

Note, the SlingCatcher will not be able to Sling HD content from a SlingBox in HD. The SlingBox PRO accepts HD signals, but it only sends 640x480 max (even with the HD connection adapter). Therefore, content goes in from a SlingBox as HD, but comes out at the SlingCatcher as SD.

I don't know what the story will be for catching content from a PC, but there are significant bandwidth issues that, in my mind, make it unlikely to be a better story.

All the hype around internet tv and mobile tv starts to get a little bit annoying. 3 day ago I got a Venice Project invitation. I tried and… well, in fact it's still just TV. I stopped watching TV, because it's dumb. I don't need interactive version of cheap and dumb shows and series.

I want first class movies and series and I'm willing to pay.
