Hacking the hotel TV - making the most out of being stuck in your room

Appreciate the comments.

Why would I recommend something just for being the market leader? I know about Sling, and have 3 of them here. I had a Sling the very first day they were available. But being market leader does not make it the best product - personally I prefer the Hava because its image quality is better, because I can use it as a DVR in my room and I can access recordings on the drive I have connected to it.

I'm not in the business of recommending products just because they are popular - I recommend my own personal opinion. Same reason I picked the Zune. Seriously, why the hate towards the player?

And why would you think it is a joke? Yes, I think the Zune is a serious media device, and yes, I think everyone who is looking for a player should consider it. I can buy a 120GB Zune AND media kit (with component video and remote) for about the same price as a 120GB iPod. It's all about personal choices, but I refuse to settle for a player just because the rest of the world settled for it.

I could have recommended Archos, but their insane codec system and accessory prices makes me hesitant to do so.

You are spot on with the lack of Mac support - I should have mentioned that.
