    I've used Slingplayer on many phones in the past and it worked well. However, with WM7 its bloody disappointing, it does not work with my HTC phone and they do not tell you this before your purchase it. They are greedy and poor customer service. I cannot wait to find an alternative devise in the market!

    Have done a like for like comparison between this WP7 version and the Android version. All I can say is that the WP7 version seems slow and unresponsive by comparison to the droid version. A bit dissappointing for the price paid. With that said, once it's up and running it's OK. Channel changes slow.

    Very easy to set up, works much better than I expected, running on omnia 7. Used to use snug tv, slingplayer is 20 times better.

    Totally stupid and greedy company. Apps non transferable so have to buy each one, not compatible and very bad customer support. I don't recommend them. Good ideas but horribly executed and managed.
