Steve,
Never heard of this before and obviously have missed a message or two . . ..
I took a look at the WEB site and understand what it is but of course, with
no eyes readily available, have no idea how large and what stations you can
pick up from anywhere.
Further information, if you have it, would be interesting.
Also, do you know how accessible the software is for us?
Do you have one yet, or is it on the Christmas list?

Hi Adrian,
Orb is a completely different animal. What makes Slingbox good is that
you
can plug it directly into your TV/Video/satellite box via Scart, and then
network it, then view your TV over the web from your satellite box
anywhere
in the world, as long as you have an Internet connection. I don't think
you
can do that with Orb.
I am wondering though whether Slingbox is accessible.
Have a look though at http://uk.slingmedia.com for more info.
All the best
Steve

Dean - I haven't tried slingbox but have played around a bit with orb
which
does a similar thing certainly for music and transfering files anyway, not
sure if it does tv/video. Although I have accessed it remotely from
another
pc I haven't yet tried accessing it from my phone so don't know about the
symbian client and talks, give it a try.

Hi,
Has anyone used a sling box to stream music or files to their PC or to
their
phone from their PC? I know its available for series 60 mobiles but
wasn't
sure how the PC or the Mobile phone apps were for accessibility.
