I have directtv and this is one of the coolest gadgets I own. Works well.
how much is the HD version? can multiple computer watch the same show?
will this thing mute my ex-wife remotely?
The thing about HD versions is that you still have to have the network to support it.
If you have a cable box or dvr in one room, but want to watch it from another room or perhaps sitting outside having a beer, then you'll likely have the bandwidth for HD quality picture.
But if you're in a hotel room somewhere and you want to watch your home dvr, then you might as well save money and get this over the PRO version, because the slingbox wouldn't be capable of delivering the HD signal over the link, and thus it would scale it back to SD quality anyway.
You're missing the point: most HD receivers don't output SD simultaneously, so you can't feed a SD slingbox without switching the receiver to SD. The HD version solves the problem.
The Hava Titanium is a much better deal (the HD version with wifi was selling for less than the SD Slingbox)
read reviews on their website before you buy, the forums talked me out of this.
@ # 3....only if your ex wife is on tv...
#5, my Motorola DCH6416 cable box feeds both simultaneously, didn't know it was an issue for some. Makes sense, though.
ALSO... remember that the Solo is 1 to 1 with your cable box. So if your house only has 1, it means that who ever is home has to watch what the "remote" user watches.
I made the mistake of thinking I can share a cable box.
Your best bet with a Solo is to have a dedicated cable box for your slingbox.
LJW: you are missing the point. This has component connections, just doesn't transmit a HD quality signal. Also, read the reviews on the Hava products. They seem to be great on a LAN, bad on WAN.
I have 4 slingboxes scattered around the country and in my basement. They are largely bulletproof and provide a fairly high quality signal.
