Found Footage: SlingPlayer for the Mac in action
We've written about the Slingbox in the past. If you're not aware of what Sling does, it is a network device that streams live TV from your television (or Tivo, or DVR) to a number of different devices including PDAs, PCs, and soon Macs. This video shows off the Sling Player for OS X running on a MacBook.
This thing is so cool that I'll forgive the Sling guy for calling the Dock a 'taskbar.'
Oh, and the public beta for Mac should be available at the end of October/start of November.

I'll believe it when I can download it. I've been hearing about the mythical Mac SlingPlayer for far too long now, it's time for them to get it out or shut up about it.

It will be available at the end of October OR the end of November? All those poor people wanting it in the middle of November...

I like it...but that guy really isn't the best at showing it off. Is it just me or did he just mention the three ways to change the volume? But anyway, it shows promise. I'm not entirely sure just how many people will move past the "that's pretty cool" point to the actual point of purchase though.

The crowd noise on this clip is unbearable! If they want people to watch their videos, they should buy an external mic or wireless mic. The audio is at least as important as the video.

All very nice for people who want to watch TV. I liked his desktop image though, that was nice.

Does anyone know if this service allows you to record the TV to your computer, or does it only allow a live stream?
