I’m interested in buying a Slingbox for watching my local TV on my XBMC back home. After spending several minutes (too late for being diligent) I still can’t seem to find a straight answer if there’s a plugin for showing your Slingbox stream using your XBMC. I understand it’s not supported out of the box, but many suggests that you can python it, do know about anything out there?

The straight answer is no. I’ve heard of ‘development’ of it since as early as 2004, and haven’t yet seen a product. So unfortunately it appears to be a bit of a dead end.
The slingbox is a great product and with their new betaplayer you can actually stream live TV from any browser window. I don’t think anyone’s tried to get this to work in xbmc yet, but it’s still a beta and all.
