Not sure what a sling box is so I can't even comment. If your talking about a slingshot, I had one when I was young and they are a lot of fun, Just kidding. .

Sorry, didn't see this until now.
On slower connections, it will take a bit to cache the video, but then it will look fine. You might see some occasional artifact, but not too bad.
Real world example, I was in Boston and staying at a Hyatt. The wireless connection in the hotel room was very off and on. I fired up my trusty AT&T 3G card and although it was a bit rough at first, once it found the right speed/settings, I was able to watch the entire UFC PPV from the comfort of my laptop.I support the Human Rights Campaign!

Picture quality any good? I must say they do a really bad job of marketing this device. I have never seen it in demo.
