The UPS man just visted my offce with something I have been waiting for, for a long time!
The Slingbox Pro HD which I preordered back in September finally arrived from Amazon.COM! I didn't think I would ever get this from Amazon as I kept getting emails from them telling my expected arrival date and then as that date came near I got another email telling me it was delayed and asking me if I wanted to cancel the order.
I have not had a chance to screw around with it yet as it just came in, but I hope to hook it up this weekend and give it a spin.
As I went through the unboxing process I liked what I saw, however was disapointed to see that it came with the lower quality (i.e. not as durable) IR blasters. With my Slingbox Pros when I purchased the component dongle it came with these amazing high quality IR blasters. But these will do the job, I just worry about accidently pulling on one of them and breaking them as the cable is very thin.
One of the things I like about this new SlingBox is besides being able to watch my HD receivers almost ANYWHERE in full HD, is that it has a built in NTSC / ATSC / QAMM tuner. This means I can watch the unscrambled digital channels my cable company offers and in addition if I want I can hook up an antenna and watch my local stations via OTA in full HD.
I can't wait to try it out.
