See, the problem I have faced with other products is the location of my home computer and the cable outlets available in my home. There is no cable outlet near my computer room. It's just physically impossible to run another cable line there without tearing up my entire house. But the Slingbox will allow you to plug it in to your TV wherever it is, even if there isn't a network outlet there using their Slinglink adapter. I'm certainly open to other platforms because who likes relying on Sling to dictate where and when you can use your box? But the fact is, the product does what it says it will do and it makes TV watching possible wherever you go. That's the reason us who have it bought it.

Regardless, Sling or any other platform for that matter would work on a Blackberry now because none of the berries support streaming media (or have high speed data connections).
