I bought this from amazon as a gift and I'm afraid that my recipient didn't like it. The problem he had was that it is not HDTV compatible. He would have prefered a HDTV computer tuner rather than a Slingbox. The thing is that techincally you can program your computer with an HDTV tuner to do the exact thing that Slingbox does for less money than the unit costs. I don't really see any problems with it personally even though programming your own isn't that difficult. It looked pretty nice to me when I bought it.
Because it hasn't been 30 days I'll probably return it back to Amazon and get an HDTV tuner instead.
