The Slingcatcher is on clearance at Bestbuy.com: Site link
I've also seen them in store at that price, yellow tagged. Obviously, this product was not as hot as many had expected, but it'll still do remote slingboxing and operate as a basic media player. Reviews are mixed.
Thanks, OP. I got one just so that I don't have to hardwire my laptop (vga and hdmi) to the tv everytime i want to watch a movie on TV from the computer. I doubt if I'll ever use it to watch hulu or watch streaming video from slingbox.
Wish I used the 10% coupon. I've been testing slingcatcher and slingprojector for the past a few weeks, and I'm glad I bought it. I use tv-computer connection often for downloaded videos, and although I won't get as clear picture as the VGA cable, it's close enough.
When watching a movie with friends, I'd use VGA cable, but when just watching tv shows alone, slingcatcher is the easiest, simplest way to go.
