I've had a TiVo + Slingbox setup for years now and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I'm using the iPhone Slingbox app on my iPad and the video quality is acceptable for watching mostly news and sports programs. My only complaint is that the TiVo Remote is NOT replicated on the Slingbox app (which it is with the OS X Slingbox app on my MacBook) but instead have a clunky user interface. I'll wait for further reviews of the iPad Slingbox app before plunking another $30 for what is essentially a marginally improved app.
