If you’ve been waiting like the rest of us media hounds for Sling to release their SlingCatcher home media streamer, it’s like they say: misery loves company. Just kidding, although the word from Sling is that they tried for the summer, missed by a few months, and should have this baby out by the end of the year. So, just an update, don’t yah know.

No danger of knocking Sling out of the competition, but Evergreen is introducing  network TV tuning to its Japanese market with its JTV-100-F-PJ. It takes  coaxial cable inputs and composite video sources and converts them to MPEG4, which is then streamed to a network TV server or viewed on your web browser. Pricing: ¥19,999 ($163 USD).
