What the hell sling?! SlingCatcher delayed yet again

Sling Media is doing a lot these days to anger me.  First Slingplayer 2.0 was pushed back, and now the Slingcatcher is offset.  Theyve been showing this off for over a year now.  This is getting old

SlingCatcher delayed–again | Tech news blog - CNET News.com
The makers of the popular Slingbox have been promising the SlingCatcher for almost a year and half now. And once again, the projected release date will come and go quietly.

Come on guys, this is all I’ve wanted since it was announced.  Right now I’m watching my sling stuff from CT piped to a dying laptop, running various programs to either hibernate the system or kill the processes and turn off the monitor.  I dont CARE about streaming media from a local machine on the network.  I want to capture a stream from a remote source, put it on my television, and thats it.  The fact you’re giving me a remote with the package is 10x more than I expected.

Watching television on a laptop screen blows.  Come on sling.. help me out
