Slingbox FamilyWho's on the tag?
Are you buying for TV sports fan, news hound, favorite-show fanatic? For anyone who travels on business, wants to catch news, sports or other programming from their office, and/or uses a notebook computer in parts of their home to watch TV -- this is a killer gift! It's best suited for wired home networks and broadband Internet access. The Slingbox Tuner is designed only for over-the-air or cable without cable box access. The Slingbox AV is designed for use with a non-HD cable or satellite box. The Slingbox Pro is best suited for use with HD cable or satellite boxes, but also accomplishes what the Slingbox Tuner or Slingbox AV does. If in doubt, the Pro is a great gift.

What's in the box?
The Slingbox player and all the cables necessary (except for the HD input cables for the Pro).

What's to like... or not?
Upside: Easy to use, great software, good picture quality, mobile phone support, Mac support.

Downside: Wireless interface not included.

What's the damage?
Prices are $223.99 for the Slingbox Pro, $158.00 for the Slingbox AV and $147.28 for the Slingbox Tuner
