Rating: - Mixed Review
I have setup and used just about all Sling products since the first Sling Box came out years ago. The concept of the Sling Catcher is great. The implimentation into the real world is a little disapointing. My laptop plugged into my large HDTV does a much better job than the Sling Catcher. The Sling Catcher has the advantage of the remote control. The last software update to the Sling Cacther made some marked improvements to the picture quality. The Sling Catcher has had problems staying connected ... Read More
Rating:  - Max resolution is 480p. Useless with Pro-HD Slingbox
You can read all the reviews pro and con, but it really comes down to this. The Slingplayer software that runs on this box has a maximum resolution of 640X480. If you use a non-HD Slingbox, it does the job. Using it with the Pro-HD is pointless. Although the SlingCatcher has HDMI (& Component) outputs to an HDTV, the software that runs on the Box only supports 640X480 output. According to Sling Media, this may be corrected in the 1st Qtr of 2009. Until it does, avoid.
Rating: - Substantially less than I thought it would be!
I have used a slingbox for about a year. The slingbox is in another state, and I have used my laptop computer, connected to a 50" DLP as a monitor.

It is connected to the DLP by an S Video cable. The internet connection is a hard wire, high speed cable modem. I am getting about 950 mbps from the remote site. The picture using ... Read More
Rating:  - Works for me
I use it to watch a Slingbox on my local TV. Works just fine for me. The only problem I've had is mounting the USB drive. It won't recognize the drive unless you recycle the power. I think that a firmware upgrade will fix that.
I've used the PC projector software once, and it is pretty clunky. To be honest, I don't see how you could do something a lot better.
Rating:  - An Innovative and Well Executed Product
The Sling Catcher allows you to view multiple media sources on your TV through the internet or wirelessly. I am currently using the Sling Catcher in conjunction with a Sling Box to send my Satellite and HD DVR from my living room TV to the TV in my bedroom. This saves me a minimum of $17 a month as opposed to paying for a second receiver and line. It also circumvents the need for me to have a cable jack installed in my room. The Sling Catcher works in conjunction with a program called Sling Projector ... Read More
