Access Xlobby anywhere with the SlingBox!!

[hjackson]

I had talked about doing this a few months ago, but now I've finally done it. I hooked up my SlingBox to my HTPC. The SBx runs in it's own window with a proprietary program (ie. it does NOT run in your internet browser). I then control Xlobby through the webbrowser client. I use the ppc screens since these load MUCH faster. The video quality is pretty good. If you travel a lot or like having access to your media when away from home, the SBx is a great tool, especially for $200.

PS Has anyone tried streaming their ripped DVDs with Orb?

Just ordered it. It was a missing piece in my XLobby setup. Thanks for pointing it out.

hjackson,

all is implemented. 6 in 2 out s-video switch is here and connected to slingbox. All the 6 inputs (2 HTPCs, 2 Sony DVD changers, 2 DirecTV receivers) are controlled through xlobby/USB-UIRT. I can control inputs from either Xlobby web server interface or z2 remote2pc directly controlling my HTPC from my PDA/Phone Sprint 6600.

Many thanks to you for pointing me to the right direction with Sling.

Now, when they release mobile client, everything will be available from anywhere.

Internet access should be mandatory

BTW, you can have more than one Sling client by using WME.
