Great product, however limitations imposed when using a HDMI cable are frustrating. I wound up using both HDMI and component, this allows me to stream all channels. My provider is DirecTV - so I had to order a special cable to use with my wireless genie.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Slingbox M1 vs 500

I am looking to buy a slingbox to be able to watch Detroit sports while living in Chicago. I plan on putting it at my brothers house on a tv he rarely uses. I will be using my apple tv to stream it on my home TV.
Does anyone know that the major difference is between the M1 and the 500? For what I am planning to use it for, is it worth the extra money to step up to the 500 or should I go with the M1.
The 500 sports guide and stats is a cool feature, but if all you want is to watch the game, go with the M1 and save some cash.

If I buy two slingboxes and set it up on one cable box can two people watch it at the same time?

And be able to watch two separate shows at the same time?
I have not tried this configuration - my suspicion is that two people could be watching - each accessing one slingbox, however, because they are accessing the same tuner, they would have to watch the same program.

can 2 slingboxes be purchased for use in different rooms in the house by one person at a time

My understanding is that you can have two slingboxes connected to two separate tuners at the same time. In order for the same person to be accessing both boxes I believe you would need separate browser windows open and logged into each slingbox.
