What's great about it: Real time TV from your computer
What's not so great: You both have to watch the same program.
I purchased this item so that my Grandkids and their parents could see American TV while stationed in Germany.. The Armed Forces network doesn't get the programming to them until several days after the event.
With this they can watch my TV there in real time. Although it is 6 hours difference if a sporting event is important they will make the effort to watch even if it's 3 or 4 in the morning.

What's great about it: I can see where this would be great in homes smaller the 2000sq
What's not so great: Just didnt work for me :(
My house is about 4000sq and from my X10 knowledge I understood this might not work because my house is on a 2 phases circuit. Ive even had problem trying to get WiFi in all of my room.

What's great about it: Was able to expand my network to other parts of my home. Easy to install and works amazingly well.
This is an amazing product. It installs easily and has expanded my gaming network and TV to other parts of my home. I was skeptical at first given the system uses the home electrical system to transmit an internet connection, but it works. My connection to the sling link is just as fast and stable as if I were plugged directly into my router. Well worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Multiple Ports, easy to set up, great performance
The Sling Link Turbo has vastly improved my home theatre setup. My wireless router is located in my office and when I installed an entertainment computer, a Sling Box Pro HD, and a Playstation 3 in my living room the wireless was stressed to the limit and the speed was terrible. The Sling Link Turbo uses the existing power lines as a bridge to connect your current wireless router to your home theatre system. Even with three devices connected to it the Sling Link has vastly improved the speed of my internet and network connections. It works excellently and was incredibly easy to set up. All you have to do is plug the box into the wall and connect the other end to your router and you are done.
The product has vastly improved the speed of my connection and I would recommend it to anyone interested in connecting their home entertainment system to the internet or having issues connecting to their wireless.

What's great about it: Does not interfere with X10 home automation devices
What's not so great: none so far
I reluctantly bought this initially because I have an X10 and Z-Wave home automation system, X10 uses signals transmitted through the power lines, where Z-Wave uses RF, and I thought since this device uses the same means to transmit/receive data as X10 does, that there's a possibility that it may interfere with X10. Research on this product did not find any "yays or nays" regarding this issue.
I was very surprised to find out that it didn't interfere! I had traffic travelling through it and could still control my lights via X10.
I now have eliminated two ethernet cords running around the corner from my office to the home theater equipment in a closet next to the office, which originally went to a hub to feed my game consoles (when wireless didn't work) and another one for the slingbox.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to configure and use
What's not so great: Need a separate box for each room
All I had to do was plug in the 2 devices and connect one to the mub and the other to the computer and I was on line. Setup was a snap. I didn't have to run a wire from one end of the house to the other to get connectivity.
I would recommend this to a friend!
