Sure, web based TV is going to grow, but until you can more effectively get that content (A) to your actual HD teevee (B) in HD (C) completely on demand (D) without straining your internet connection (E) for a reasonable price (F) with the Content Providers Approval and finally (G) with a revenue model for the content providers, it ain’t taking over!

Until then, enjoy the precursors to true 100% on-demand entertainment, such as sling.com, netflix, and the other on-demand services on traditional satellite and cable providers.

No, wait, a Slingbox Pro HD. Or maybe both: I’ve spent the last several days testing out the new SlingCatcher set-top box (stay tuned for my review), and I’m really enjoying it. It allows you to play back the video you have stored on your PC on your TV…just like many other devices have promised to do. But the SlingCatcher actually works and setting it up is a snap. (If you end up buying it for someone as a gift, you should consider adding SlingLink TURBO ethernet bridges, which allow you to connect the SlingCatcher to your home network via your power lines.) But the SlingCatcher pairs up nicely with a Slingbox, which lets you view the contents of your TV on a PC. Which one would I want most? It’s a toss-up, but this is a gift guide, so I’ll choose both. And if you buy one of Sling Media’s devices as a gift, you should point the recipient to Sling.com. The site offers a web-based way to watch the content from a Slingbox — come to think of it, even if you don’t purchase a Slingbox or a SlingCatcher, Sling.com is still worth checking out. [...]

(why have 2 TVs)

The slingbox is static to their broadcast deals.

Sony Vaio VGC-RT1SU
