I just read a little more and the single client connection limit is probably a way for SlingMedia to ensure that there isn’t mass retransmission of TV signals.

It still sounds cool – I look forward to it launching over here.

It only lets you stream to one client at a time. If you connect to the same SB from another client, it disconnects the first one, so there are not multiple-broadcast issues. I’m guessing that this disconnection is done in the firmware on the Box so you’d have a hard time enabling multiple streams. Worst case, it might even be a limitation of the TI chip used to create the dynamic bitrate stream, and in that case, there is no option to do more than one stream.

However, it’s a cool device and I use it to watch my Tivo shows on the laptop while I play computer games on the main machine. That way, I don’t feel like I’m falling behind on either gaming or TV by choosing to do the other
