   Wow!!!

   Sling gets more and more awesome.

   With those Kirkorian Boys, Sling is becoming what TiVo was 7 years ago.

   I wish they had a booth at Digital Life … I guess you caught them floating … can you comment on any multicast plans?

   FYI: When I clicked on the Slashphone link my McAfee SiteAdvisor blocked it saying…
   “Breaches browser security

   When we browsed this site, it made unauthorized changes to our test PC.”

   I went there anyway and didn’t see anything subversive.

   hdtivo: From what I gather, Sling Media had a more formal presence the night before at PEPCOM, though they didn’t have a booth at DigitalLife. I am unaware of any multicast plans and I would recommend they don’t go down that path — seems risky. I requested photos of today’s football experiment.

   Bill: Thanks for the information. To be safe, I’ve linked to another site… Though new reports are saying this mock-up is some sort of class project rather than an authentic prototype.
