What they don’t tell you is that to make this work in any appreciable way without having to pull cables, crawl under your house, dig through drywall or otherwise destroy your house, you have to pay extra for a special wireless connector. Otherwise all the money you’ve spent for this widget is useless.
Well, I’ve bought this Slingbox back in February, and it still sits in the box, unconnected. I can’t make this thing work with the home network, no matter what. I’ve called customer support any number of times and gotten almost no help. This product is a gigantic waste of money.

I am very dissatisfied. This box has 3 separate inputs, but only a single person can use it at a time. I have multiple people on a small LAN that would like to use this system. This is a waste for the money.

This looks like a cool product, like something out of the Jetsons. Unfortunately, it also *looks* like something out of the Jetsons. Did they have to make it so ugly? Why not offer an option that will fit into homes that don’t have a bright red trapezoidal motif going in their gameroom? I’m certain that they are losing sales over this design.

The Slingbox’s ability to control your device is the key issue. They provide a number of control codes, but not nearly enough. In my case, I was out of luck – the Slingbox was not able to control either of my DVD players. Since you don’t know if they support your device or not, are you going to take that gamble?
