Electronics Slingbox, who has one?

It seems like a great idea, but how effective are Slingboxes?

I'm looking at a SOLO, not HD-Pro - my research has said that video isn't HD-quality outside your home network, so the HD-Pro is a waste for mobile streaming.

Since it doesn't have HDMI input/output, is there an affect on your HD channels when watching at home? (I've had this issue with my DVD recorder, although using compnent cables through the Slingbox will still allow 1080i, just not 1080p)

Is connecting through ethernet a pain? (I will be going through my PC, not a laptop, then streaming to a smartphone)

I've read a lot of reviews that say customer service is awful. Any experiences?
