This does exactly what it says. It came as a surprise to me like others have said that it was necessary. Even though it was noted that the cables were good quality, in fact they are cheapies, I did not use them. They look and give the illusion of high quality but I have high quality Monster Cables on my expensive setup and I see that if I use these low end cables it will be the weaklink of my system. The cables are ok for a normal setup, I just have a highend setup. The cables were why I docked it a star, it maybe should have been docked two stars.

Very nice add on to the Sling Pro. Video detail is much clearer.

The HD picture in Slingbox is great, but you need this to fully enjoy HD.

I’m not totally certain that the HD Connect device gives you HD since there is no provision for HDMI cables, only component. Since the picture over the internet isn’t perfect anyway I don’t see where this device is all that necessary or really useful. Just another fifty bucks.

I bought this along with Slingbox Pro, I understood that this piece was needed to obtain HD quality broadcasts on my laptop from Slingbox. It works fine, I have a co worker who connected his without this piece (he doesn’t have HD at home) and it looked as good as mine. Also this piece takes the HD port on my Cablebox/DVR so I have to connect my HDTV with Component cables, needless to say, My home TV viewing suffers, so I disconnect my slingbox when at home. Price is better on Amazon than CC or BB.
