Nothing changed! still 320×240 (max)!

The box I used is the lowest model.
Do I have to buy a HD slingbox to play 640×800 at my HTC HD????

I’ve been using it on my Verizon Touch Pro for a month. Absolutely no difference in performance or quality from when I was using it on my xv6700.

I don’t know how people are getting these higher resolutions to show up. I have the latest build, and the highest resolution I can see is 320X240.

I’m using the new SlingPlayer on my HTC Touch HD at 800×480 on AT&T’s Edge network here in the USA [read: no 3G ] and I’m blown away how wonderful it does in video quality… they have really done their homework in optimizing for the higher resolution displays

Even though video is displayed on those higher resolution devices, the Slingbox still only sends a max of 320×240 to the mobile client – meaning video will be scaled.

Maybe a reason to get the Omnia..hmmm. But what’s this about a BB beta? And can the Storm be far behind? I am almost paralyzed(!) by choices.

SlingBox great and I will use the BB Beta, BUT many free alternatives now exist that do so much more for mobile users. To most smartphones and notebooks, I stream my personal videos, TV, pictures, and music. ORB and AMD Live! on Demand (Orb-based) have this functionality. Quite amazing on my wife’s iPhone and my Touch. http://corp.orb.com/goliveonyourtelevision/
