what does it do that the other doesn't that warrants the 300 buck price tag?

Damn, I just bought another Slingbox Pro.
Any ideas on when the Pro HD is shipping?
Are they looking for beta testers?

It's too bad it only has one HD input though. Comparing it to the a Pro with the HD dongle, it looks like you lose an input.

Any ideas on what the USB port is for? Wireless networking expansion?

Still no HDMI out though

It has no HDMI input so why HDMI output?

 

[jlhugh]

you got to have a 1.5mbps upload for HD. that leaves me out. mine is only 768.

Why would you want HDMI out on a Slingbox?

The idea is that you use the sources HDMI out to go to whatever HDMI input you have and the component outputs to go to the Slingbox.


The Slingcatcher has an HDMI output.
