This sounds like it is too good to be true. Let me ask a couple of basics and then I am likely going to whip out my credit card and make a purchase.

I am overseas, my Slingbox is stateside. My goal is to watch the signal I see on my monitor when slinging form overseas to a TV that is with me overseas. I know I can port from video card TV pout to a TV but this SlingCatcher seems a great idea too. From what I can make out online on slingmedia's site, the sling catcher gets hooked to the Slingbox. What I am interested in is porting the signal I watch with Slingplayer when overseas to a TV that is also in the house with me overseas. In such a set up is SlingCatcher a viable option?

Thank you for the suggestion and if you have time a coupe of the follow up novice questions too.

Mike

A Catcher will look fine on any size TV, I've used one on a 50" plasma and it performed just fine, especially with the speeds you are getting, you'll get a lot of joy from a Slingcatcher.
