It's a long installation process, and doesn't work out of the browser with a plugin like Slingbox does.

Plus, I'm never going to see it or interact with it physically on a daily basis, so I don't really care what it looks like.The software on the computer leaves a bit to be desired. And I kind of like the weird styling of the device. This also doesn't matter to me, It's just sitting on something that wouldn't have room for anything else anyway. Also, Monsoon? Vulkano? Flow? Seriously, guys, get a new designer and new names.The box is not flat, so it's going to sit on the top of your rack. That said, it's a superficial thing and has no bearing on the product. Everything was packaged ok on the inside, but in this day and age when Apple has raised the standard so high, everyone has to step up their game. The box it shipped in was ugly as sin on the outside. That said, Monsoon really needs to get some decent designers on their team, because what they have is awful. There's no way any of these would get me to recommend a Slingbox over this device.

The Flow does have the "Tivo Series 4" remote information, though, and everything works as desired.Cons:Now, let me begin this section by saying that none of these issues are dealbreakers for me. If you have a Tivo Premiere, Slingbox can control it with a generic controller, but some of the buttons don't do the same thing (clear doesn't delete the show, for example). Plus, Slingbox surprisingly didn't have the remote information for anything past a Series 3 Tivo or Tivo HD. The response time from the remote commands is nowhere near instantaneous, but it's twice as fast as Slingbox.

The Flow, however, is working perfectly.Both on Windows and on mobile, the Flow does a great job of controlling my Tivo. The Slingbox failed me, and that's all there is.
I don't care what a device is capable of, I care what it does. Add to that the fact that the audio quality on Slingbox's apps is simply unlistenable, in the end the Vulkano Flow effectively has better quality streaming than the Slingbox products. The quality kept shifting from one level to another, causing audio glitches and pauses as it did so, and there was almost never a time when I had a true HD quality stream. However, when I went on vacation, despite having 10Mbps down, the experience was atrocious.

When I had my Pro HD all set up, I was pleased to see excellent quality video from my desktop computer on my network. It was so low res I went out and bought a $250 Pro HD on the spot. The video quality it produces is not HD, but it's FAR superior to what the Slingbox Solo produces, which in my opinion was garbage. In the end, what I get is rock solid performance on my home computer or out and about on my phone or tablet.Here's the thing, GDGT compares this device to the Slingbox Solo. Clearly Monsoon has nobody from Apple on their design team.But in the end, none of that matters. Their website is pretty bad and looks like it was made in 1999, and the product its self costs less than any Slingbox, and the app costs less than half as much! Then, when I received the product, it came in what has to be the ugliest packaging I've seen in years. Plus, it was all very expensive.Because of all that I returned my Slingbox Pro HD and took a chance on the Monsoon Vulkano Flow. To sum up my opinions on those: they're well made and the service works really well, but the experience on my phone/tablet was unusable, and the customer support was nonexistent. Where do I begin? Well, a good background for my opinion of this product might be to read my opinions of the Slingbox devices.
