What's great about it: Ease of Use and its overall performance
What's not so great: No detailed instruction for "on-demand' viewing
I wish I had known about this sooner. It works so well, I'm reducing cable in our vacation home to bare service and will use the Slignbox to watch channels from home and premium/movie channels. It took less than seven minutes to set up and activate after downloading the firmware update. The wireless connection allowed me to place it in an out of way location. It supports both component and HDMI so you can connect to almost any television that is not more than about 12 years old.
This product has... Fast connection, Easy to set up, Reliable connection
About me... Business Professional

Question

Can this item brocast to tv's with wifi or ethernet?
If the TV you want to use to watch programming can connect to the internet and you can operate and view a web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) you can sign into your slingbox account and watch the transmitted programming, change channels at the transmitting location, etc.

Can I plug a PC running sling box SW into an other device to view?

If I have a sling box at one site and a PC running the software at an other site, could I connect the PC to a HD TV in a remote site and view the image on the large screen?
That's what the Slingbox is designed to do. I stream from my laptop (connected wirelessly) to a NetGear box connected to the TV. I can also connect the HDMI cable on my laptop to a newer TV and achieve the same result.
