It's a media aggregator and brings a 10-foot (remote control) UI to many of the sites like Hulu, YouTube, CBS, etc that you mentioned. It's running on any OS-X Intel platform now, even the AppleTV, but can run on any Ubuntu Linux PC on your TV. @Menhir Sling’s stuff is great if you use a cable/sat box, but if you want to take the net to the TV, you should check out boxee.

I don't think that sling will ever be anything to write home about unless DISH pours some more money into it. In all likelihood though, they will probably never have the market share that youtube and hulu have. Came here to post this.

I bet Dish is realizing their long term future looks very poor if they don't get online. They better hurry FAST! Last I checked the 12-22 year olds watch all their content online. Bad news for DISH and Directv. Sling is owned by DISH Network.

I would totally get a SlingBox if they had such a two-way option. Sounds counterproductive, I know - but to me, it's like a DVR without the service fees, no hard drive limitations, and I get to watch my shows whenever I want, albeit having to deal with very short ads (that are completely tolerable). I think Boxee on Apple TV is a good start in that direction, but I'd like to see official support and higher quality video from all these sites. Eventually, we might even get to ditch the cable company altogether - wouldn't that be great?!
