Dave,

I have to with chrissyboy, you're video reviews are getting better all the time. I probably missed it, can you stream 720p?

Great job on the review, your video quality is amazing, love the new HD video set up you have makes viewing the reviews a great experience. I don't have a sling or a HD TV yet but it looks like a fantastic setup.

Update: About the lack of HDMI, it isn't licensing costs, it is that HDMI comes with HDCP - and that would block streaming on most channels, it isn't permitted to take HDCP protected content and stream it. Using component keeps Sling in the 'analog hole' to be able to stream.
