    I have Slingbox but don't have TZ. However, It works flawlessly on every laptops/PCs I have--one of them is Eee PC.

    hope you get an idea if it would work on yours :p

    i also watch the old slingbox on my TZ and find it acceptable.

    one caveat: the streaming quality isn't quit good enough for watching something like sports. the action is too fast, and it seems blurry, despite a good connection on both ends here.

    but i'd say for everything but live sports, it's great.
