sling experiment

My Slingbox is slow and I still need to research the remote/IR issue.
My cowon X5 is plugged into the USB port of my new Philips DVP5982 as I want to test external storage and audio playback.
Every button press on the remote takes a 5 to 10 seconds to register on the sling client running on my mac... on the same network. Sure the mac is on 802.11g but I doubt moving to a wired connection will help. At any rate. I want to run the sling client on my N80.
In the first two tracks of this old Dive CD I've ripped the audio has already skipped twice. Does this product even work? How the hell is it going to work on my Nokia? People really use this crap? Some american satellite bought sling for what reason?
And... the DVP menus are as simple and ugly as the crap DVD players I examined in China. I could have brought one home for 40 USD and still had a hideous UI and USB mass storage.
Maybe I should test the upscaling. Oh, no HDMI cable. Thanks philips. It's been a pleasure.
