"Slingbox is broken (for good??)"
Pros: size, setup, price
Cons: You cannot record any longer!
Summary: Sling Media took a winner of a product and "enhanced" it by encrypting the media stream last month. This nifty feature was a hidden consequence of a firmware upgrade they pushed on owners last month. As a result, the ability to record a media stream for later playback is now taken away.
This seems to be the first time I've known a supplier to downgrade a customers service and product capability after the device was purchased. That they did it in such a sneaky manner says much about the companies committment to the customer.
I'd advise you look at the Monsoon HAVA instead!

Um, let's see. The same thing was said for the Pro and probably the Tuner (haven't checked yet, but we could assume so after an identical review of the Pro). And when has the Slingbox ever been able to record? I've never heard or seen such a thing until now.
Bottom line: it rocks and continues to get better everyday. I can't wait until I can put it on my Palm and have you heard about the Clip n' Sling? Stunning, what these guys are doing?
