Summary: FYI - Slingbox Only Streams Standard Def Video, Even from HD Source
Comment: So, maybe this was obvious to other buyers, but it was not to me. While this product is marketed as an "HD" Slingbox, this only means that you can connect video to it via HD Component Cables (not HDMI). The actual video that the Slingbox outputs always has the same maximum resolution of 640x480 (otherwise known as 480i or "standard definition").
I read numerous reviews that described the video displayed from the HD Slingbox as "somewhere in between standard def and high def." This is definitely not the case. The device has an absolute best case maximum of standard def.
This might still make sense if your primary purpose is to watch TV/video content on your mobile phone. (You definitely can't see any more than standard def on that.)
BUT, if you are wanting to use the Slingbox to view TV or video in another room of your house (on a PC), via a wired or wireless home network, you may be very unhappy with the resulting low quality.
Any wired (100 megabit) home network, and many wireless home networks, are fully capable of moving full HD quality video around from room to room. If you are looking for a solution to view HD video in other rooms of your house, you might want to look at other "multi-room viewing" solutions, such as multiple DVRs (e.g. Tivo), or something like Tivo-2-Go, which allows you to actually move and play the full HD video (from recorded TV) on any PC on your network.

Summary: This thing rocks!
Comment: A friend bought a slingbox more than a year ago and I thought it was great, but without a Mac client it was useless to me. When this year's Tour de France came on I REALLY wanted to watch at the office and so with a Mac client now available I bought the SOLO. What an amazing device. On the home network the picture is astounding, over the internet, it is amazingly clean and smooth.
My only down check is that I am still waiting on an iPhone client.
A great gadget, I recommend.

Summary: Slingbox Works as Advertised
Comment: I am impressed with the Slingbox Solo. It does everything the company said it did. Installed very easily. My first trip out of town after it was installed was a place with a very slow internet connection. In spite of this, the Slingbox worked very well, Recommend highly.

Comment: Unbelievable....I can watch and control my Dish network anywhere I have internet access (which is a lot of places with a Verizon USB720). It may not be perfect but I think it's great.
