Will anyone be concidering this?

Anyone allready own a SlingBox?

Anyone who has never heard of it, you connect a SlingBox to your home PVR/SKY/VirginMedia set top box, it allows you to view and controll your STB from anywhere in the world you have an internet connection.

They have now launched a mobile version, meaning you could get Sky+ on your mobile.

This sounds good but it'll probably be expensive to use it on your mobile and the quality will depend on what size screen you've got?

I've never really been keen on watching TV on a mobile, though.

Its £15 for the application I think and then your data costs ontop. Screens are getting bigger so mobilie TV is more attractive to people these days.

I have to admit, when TMob gave everyone 30 days free mobile TV, I watched the big brother live feed a lot while on the train and stuff.

I've got a Nokia 6230i at the moment and the screen's so tiny.

The screens of new phones are about 3 times as big now.

This appears to be an unbranded version of the 3 Sling-Player app. I use it a LOT and it REALLY is good.

^Whats the quality of the picture like? Ive watched the demo and on the animation of how it all works, and the picture on the mobile or pc screen is a lot more blocky (is that even a word?) compared to the tv you can see connected to your home slingbox.
