I did not know that about the Slingbox - it is a great thing Santa didn't bring me one, like I wanted, because I would have returned it, if it only streams WMV's. I have done that sort of work before, streaming video with the Windows Media Encoder, and hey, it is easy to use - gotta give M$ a hand there - but I don't want to be restricted to WMV's. I also wanted to stream the video to my phone, and it would not have worked with WMV's.
