I tried using that first and while it might be cool when it does turn  
into an actual feature (beyond proof of concept*) I really like  
slingbox's ability to adapt resolution based on available bandwidth  
and allowing you to favor video or audio depending on what you're  
watching (talking heads? give audio preference. sports? give video  
preference)

*Note: I wish the flash proof of concept sucked more than it does so  
it would prompt more work on it instead of "this is good enough to  
live with so this feature drops down in the priority list".
