  Strengths: good image quality

  Weaknesses:no close caption.

  Overall Evaluation: it didn't work when I first plugged it into my router. I had to upgrade the firmware by directly connecting it to my computer (using cross-over ethernet cable). utilized almost 100% of my old labtop (AMD 1800+ 1.5Ghz). 30% on my dual-core E2160 processor. Overall, it's a pretty good product if you're running the software on a recent processor, P4 or above. hope they'll put the close caption in soon, as well as a built-in video recorder.

  Strengths: Ability to stream HD content on my TiVo HD to anywhere with a broadband connection, even my Palm Centro phone; more stable than some of it's competitors.

  Weaknesses:Though it takes component inputs, it does not stream in HD quality.

  Overall Evaluation: After months of trying other, cheaper place shifting technologies like Orb or Sony's location free TV, I finally plunked down the extra $ for a Slingbox Solo. The Solo seemed the best model, as I have a TiVo HD and unlike the Slingbox Pro, you do not need to buy an HD adapter for the component input. The Slingbox is the most stable of the devices I have tried, and it optimizes the video quality based on your available upload bandwidth. Setup was a snap - took less than 15 minutes. I'm very pleased with the ease of use, video quality, and user interface. Now I can catch all the games no matter where I am. Definitely recommend!

  Strengths: Ease of use, Picture Quality

  Weaknesses:Price

  Overall Evaluation: This is my first Slingbox and I have been using it for about a month. It was easy to set up. I connected it to my TIVO HD box. It works well over my home network. I installed the software on my laptop, desktop computer and HTC AT&T 8525 PDA/Phone. The software is easy to use, although I'm not sure that I'm willing to pay $30 for the phone software. I wish it were free. The phone picture quality isn't great over AT&T's network, but works better over a high speed connection. The PC/Laptop software is free and works great, but you can only use it on 1 device at a time.

  Strengths: Easy setup, very concise and clear instructions, great tech support

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: This is my scond SlingBox. Two years ago I purchased the original Slingmedia box and it has been working flawlessly ever since. Slingmedia has improved setup vastly and automated the network setup process. I get a terrific picture on both my Macbook Pro and iMac. You can have several Slingboxes setup and control them all from within one program. I can't wait until Slingmedia releases its mobile version for the iPhone.
