[QUOTE="ASiDiE, post: 65852, member: 11017"] You are correct when you say the new TV engine will have a server and it will stream to the clients. The one thing that the slingbox can do is re-encode the stream to support slower devices. Basically what it does is checks the speed on the device and then adjusts the stream to support that speed. So slower devices (PDA's and Phones) can listen to music and watch TV. Now the quality will be degraded but at least you can do it. This would be a huge selling point (if we sold the product) to our users. This would allow them to have access to Pictures, music, recorded shows and live TV anywhere they have an internet connection. As far as I know, SageTV is the only Media Center product that has this feature. I use ORB all the time to stream music and videos to work (Watching a full length movie at very good quality at work is pretty cool) Orb is a very good product and it is free, But I would like to see MP jump to the next level in terms of being a well rounded media center.
