Sling Media Slingbox Solo

Zitat: The good: Ability to watch your telly around the world, relatively simple to set up The bad: Only connect one device, no Freeview tuner built-in, we did have networking issues Verdict: Compared to the PRO and the offering is considerably cut down, if all you are looking to do it connect it to your Freeview or Sky box then this will do nicely

Zitat: Pros: + Elegantly designed + built-in digital tuner + S-video connection option + much easier to set up than the Sony + excellent automatic picture quality optimisation, price Cons: - Doesn´t work with the PSP The first thing we have to say here is just how impressed we´ve been by the basic ´your TV anywhere´ concept behind these two products. We used both systems during a recent trip to the IFA technology show in Berlin, and it´s amazing - almost tragic, really! - how much we appreciated being able to access all of our UK TV channels and Sky+ recordings from our distant hotel room. We also got a real ´boys toys´ kick out of using the Sony system with our PSP. Whenever we showed people the system working on the PSP (and believe us, we did this a lot!), we never tired of seeing the consecutive emotions of puzzlement, sudden wide-eyed realisation and then pure envy that invariably flitted across their faces. And yet for all the ´coolness´ of Sony´s LocationFree PSP application, the winner of our head to head is actually the Slingbox. For what it lacks in PSP compatibility (and how many of you actually own a PSP anyway?), it more than makes up for in better design, better operating system, and better performance standards. In other words, while the Sony system feels a little like a ´dry run´ for a more rounded second-generation product, the Slingbox is already fully realised. And like all truly great gadgets, it´s one of those things that once experienced is seriously hard to live without.
