SOOOOO I purchased a Slingbox thinking that since Windows Media player works in Parallels that I could stream Sling to it but sling says that basically video isn't supported... Any ideas? Anyone have any experience with these things?
I think I recall something about a version of sling player for the Mac. That won't help you in Parallels, but if it is (or becomes) available, you can watch your shows on your Mac.
There is indeed a Mac Sling Player. See: <http://us.slingmedia.com/page/slingplayer.html> However, the Windows version works well for me in Parallels. Bill Halberstadt 17" MacBook Pro, Core 2 Duo, 3GB, Mac OSX 10.4.8 & Win XP
