An interesting Slingbox experiment
I've been splitting my time between our house in SF and our apartment in LA, where my Slingbox is located. The docking station for my laptop has DVI out, so I have an DVI to HDMI cable that I use so I can store movies on my laptop and play them on the HD TV in our SF house. Just for fun, I tried the Slingbox player with this setup on the HD TV. It works surprisingly well. Though, of course, the picture isn't high-def, it's very viewable -- better than VHS and only slightly worse than the DirecTV standard-def box that's connected to the HD TV.
