There's no way Slingbox will work on the Pearl. Pearl does not support streaming media. That's the only reason it would conceivably work on the 8800-- because it is supposed to support streaming media. But again, there is no SlingPlayer made for the Blackerry OS. Just Windows Mobile and Symbian currently. I've heard of people slinging on EDGE and supposedly it's not too bad, but I've never tried it.

I didn't think the Slingbox was too hard to set up at all, if you just set the ports to 443 then you're good to go anywhere and everywhere.
