Slingmedia SC100-110 Sling Catcher

This device plays just about every type of video file out there and does what it's supposed to do... stream from a Slingbox. It's probably my favorite gadget in the whole house ; You can map to network drives (Dlink DNS-323 for example) and watch all...

It does not play DRM encrypted files. I would think that by now Slingmedia would have worked a deal with Divx, Cinema Now, Netflix, or Blockbuster to provide more content ; Also, it will not stream directly from sling.com and requires the...

Here is the list of Pros ; 1 ; 2 ; You got it right

This IS NOT a plug&play gear as the manufacturer claims to be. I connected it as per the user's manual. Installed software. Fire it up and nothing. I troubleshooted my home network, Firewall, reinstalled. Tried on different PC's with different OS's I...

Does what it claims ; Has SMB support ; Has no problem spinning up my 2.5 HDD ; Can stream using very little bandwidth

still no ISO support. Loves VOB, but who uses that to backup

It looked nice, and the interface was nice I guess? Don't judge a book by it's cover

The interface is nice but there is such bad functionality that it just completely cancels out any form of pleasure with this product. It won't load off the network like other media tanks, you have to install software that is proprietary to windows(I...

Better than a 2.4ghz video transmitter, as it doesn't interfere with your wireless network(if you have one) It lets you control the remote source since the slingbox has a IR baster.

Remote is slightly awkward... But it does the job.

Very acceptable picture connecting to a Slingbox over internet

Very laggy in controlling the remote TV. Not really its fault - inherent in the network speed - but it certainly does reduce the user experience.

I travel a lot - living overseas quite a bit. I have a superb picture quality at 1.5Mb/s to 1.8 Mb/s coming from a DISH Network receiver through a 2nd Gen SlingBox Pro using component video @640x480 resolution. I am truly amazed at the picture quality...

Unlike the SlingBox software, the program guide is not built in so you are reliant on using the slower guide on the remote DISH network box.

does everything it says (with latest firmware), very smooth viewing from even the slowest connections (using my EDGE cellphone as a internet proxy), remote feel comfortable & easy to program, fairly clean menus, easy to use

needs network support (SMB/etc) & needs .iso .bin image file support, would be a simple yet powerfull feature. Took forever to release.

Connected seamlessly to network via wireless N bridge and to slingbox. Set up was easy, as was updating the software. Great for slinging movies and TV shows saved on my DVR via the slingbox. Remote is adequate and can be programmed to control TV inputs...

Not HD, so only standard definition from Slingbox Pro HD. Fairly expensive.

None

Does not work, freezes and does not have advertised capability of streaming video from internet to your tv, in my case, a HD 1080i via, sling turbo port ; wireless linksys N or via Ethernet connection. Using the Sling port initially, it connected to my...
