The future arrived today with my Slingcatcher. It was on sale at Best Buy for $99, and I had a $25 gift card. After shipping and tax, my outlay was something like $84!
It was pretty easy to set up (maybe 10-minutes, including programming the remote to my TV & stereo.) My only disappointment is that you can't get the guide that I see with my SlingPlayer to come up. Either I'm doing something wrong, or that programming guide is only available on the SlingPlayer.
I tried to SlingProjector, but I think that is going to take some more playing with to work.
