We were a little disappointed that, in the middle of listening to a selected MP3 file, the on-screen visualization was simply a boring, slow-moving animation of Sling’s logo. Also, hitting the remote’s Sling button (Sling’s version of the Home button or the green button under MCE) causes the song to stop playing. Most other media players continue playing the chosen track in the background until another audio or video item is selected. Some might find it strange that the message along the left of the home screen says to press the Sling button “to return to video.” I guess SlingCatcher’s designers couldn’t imagine people using it for music.

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,
