What we want is an AppleTV slingbox CLIENT.

Yes, imagine having your AppleTV box at the office, so you can watch your home cable/sat during lunch...

Come to think of it, why isnt there a hardware sling receiver? One with Component/HDMI/VGA out would do fine.

Weeeelllll... since the Apple TV is a Mac OS X box, it should be able to run the Mac version of Slingplayer. Installing it won't be easy, but it's certainly possible, and with a bit of tweaking to cope with the Apple TV's limited input device, ie. the remote control, it might just work...

Anyone fancy giving it a go?
