Still have never heard anything about the brand from other users. And this looks like far to many wires.
Just get a cheap pci tuner card all the same options and more.
Only Os is winXP sp2 ? sigh
Any possibility for multicast (multiple client PCs viewing the same content)?
Also, can a single PC host more than one IPTV Anywhere Deluxe for recording and/or remote viewing?
Good luck!

Maybe your firewall is doing it? All the images show fine here!
This product must be good. After all, it’s got “Honest” right there in its name! Would a company with “Honest” in its name steer us wrong or produce something that wasn’t of the highest quality and usefulness?
Will this work off a hi-def cable box?
Look here. If cable tv is really that important to you…just don’t leave your house.
A Slingbox operates without being connected to a PC. With this device you must connect it to a home PC that will host the device for remote viewing.
Good luck!

pc world review.
think i’ll stick to the slingbox i got from woot a few months back. gotta watch my hometown tv, no matter where i am.
You can use their software and then convert the vid file into whatever format using whatever software you wanted.[hypothetically]
I don’t think this product is really worth it for the price.
I’m going to have to pass on this one.
good night.
its vista too
More cumbersome than a slingbox - you have to connect to a computer. I’ll take the slingbox, even if it is more expensive.
Check you browser settings. Doubt it’s your router. lol
a) can this record FM radio?
b) is this compatible with open source PVR software?
hmmm. Like a Slinbox, but you have to have a computer running at home to run the signal through so you can watch it anywhere else in the world. I’ll stick with my Slingbox
I’m thinking it’s a DNS issue, but I’ve tried resetting my Windows DNS client and even restarting my server, but I keep coming up with host not found for s3-external-1.amazonaws.com.
WAIT a minute!
Can this be used to monitor what channel the TV is already on, so I can change the channel to Nickelodeon when my son is watching something he shouldnt?
OH that would ROCK! April Fools box! YES!

This is NO Slingbox. This has some serious connection concerns (Woot’s own description: “I run a line from my cable box to the My-IPTV tuner. Then I go from there into my home PC via a USB connection, and make sure that PC is connected to my broadband Internet.”). Slingbox goes into the network through direct ethernet connection. A PC is only needed to run the SlingPlayer (or Windows Mobile device if you’re so inclined!).
Slingbox also gives you the ability to control other devices (I have my Sony 400-DVD/CD Jukebox connected - try that for remote movie selection).
Be careful you don’t settle for a cheap imitation!
Firefox? The last update messed up all my computers with Vista. I cant stay logged in anywhere and no Firefox-saved passwords get displayed for login (Roboform works though) I’m guessing, haven’t had time to mess with it, just noticed today.
