SlingCatcher’s search interface could be better. Navigate to the search bar and you’ll pop into an odd, single-column on-screen keyboard rather than the usual QWERTY design. With enough characters entered, press the OPT button on the remote to show search results. Highlight the desired file, then hit the right arrow to access commands for Play, Info, Add, and Delete. The Info box isn’t totally sensitive to the file type. For instance, info on an MP3 will still show a line for “resolution,” although audio files, of course, don’t have anything to do with “resolution.”

Why don't I see print option for this story? I usually print the long stories on this site and read it later.

You're right--there is no print option on this type of story. For "slide show" articles where you click through to see the next page and picture, we don't aggregate all the pages into a printable format like we do for reviews. Perhaps this is a feature we will add in the future.

Thanks for reading,
