Slingbox PRO-HD starts shipping

After waiting for the oft-delayed device, Slingbox fans can finally be happy again. The Slingbox PRO–HD has begun shipping. The PRO-HD is the first Slingbox to offer broadcast of digital signals. Previous devices converted HD video to SD standards before sending them out to your laptop or whatever device it was being viewed on. The Slingbox PRO-HD will broadcast up to 1080i. While it isn’t 1080p, it’s still better than SDTV, and unless you own a very large laptop, 720p is probably fine anyway.
