I have been wanting a good alternative to slingbox that was as dependable with more quality, and more compatible than ORB (crashes and wont use but a few tuners correctly.) And the high and potent Microsoft will be creating one soon from what I hear. It will unfourtunatley be in MediaCenter and/or VIsta first, then possibly in other O/S Progs.

Kinda funny if you think about it !

Microsoft (quality)....ha ha... stable...nothing to date...security issues, holes, thousands...

But you have to admit, orb isnt very stable, and the slingbox quality is only good for PPC, I want the scaleibilty of WME for the phone low bandwidth and for the PC high bandwidth.

I didn't have any problems with Orb till this last version 1.01.0687.

Slingbox just plain works, tie Slingbox and Gloonet together you pretty much have most of Orb !

Microsoft will find a way to bleed us with useless upgrades and security patches.
