For the past three weeks I’ve been hotel-hopping in Australia and New Zealand, where on arrival at each new loc-ation, two of the key questions have been: ‘How do you control the TV?’, and: ‘Is there internet access?’.

I recently set up my slingbox, attached to three Sony DVP-CX777 ES Changers. (1200 DVD capacity). The changers are managed by an Escient DVDM-100 box, which catalogs our discs, and allows us to access any of our movies by title via web interface. The movies are normally routed to a projector in our home theater, a widescreen (16:9) Optoma H79.
For the kids’ videos, as well as for convenience, I’m distributing the video feed in our house in two ways. An analog modulator and putting it on the cable TV line, as well as the slingbox. Everything is going well, except that SlingPlayer does not perform an anamorphic stretch for widescreen material.
It’s difficult to get the slingbox to switch the changers to 4:3 letterbox mode, and it gets to be a little tedious to switch back and forth when viewing in the theater and then on a laptop. There is also a little bit quality hit to go to letterbox mode before transmission (less lines of resolution to carry the image), although this can’t be my strongest complaint, because I’m willing to go to an analog modulator or a 1.5Mb/s video stream for distribution.
So my questions are:
1) Has anyone heard if Sling Media is going to upgrade their player for anamorphic stretch (effectively turning it into a 16:9 video monitor)?
2) Does anyone know of a box that will perform the video stretch / letterboxing on the baseband NTSC video signal just before input to slingbox? (Quality hit, but at least I don’t have to try to switch the changers to 4:3 mode every time I’m on a laptop).
3) Does anyone know if the Skipjam PC viewer allows anamorphic stretch? (Should I decide to switch to the Skipjam product).
Thanks!
