Exactly.

Other than keeping Orb competitive, I don't know why everyone's going ga-ga over media server software for iPhones.

$10, plus the optional cost of buying a TV tuner card/thumbdrive ($60-100) gives you everything you get from a Slingbox, without any of the corporate sponsor mess littering up your software. OrbLive is simple, just a regular file manager style interface for both Live TV and stored media.

I'm glad this competition's out there though. It only helps. If Buffalo or Slingbox puts up a competent front end mac software driver for stored media, it'll make Orb get something more stable and feature packed out the door on OSX.
