Two downsides I see: 1) It wants you to subscribe to SlingTV. While I do subscribe I don’t want to have to subscribe. That makes me not want to buy it.
2) It delivers content via wifi. It probably would not talk from my basement to my upstairs. If it has the ability to deliver via lan then it is much more useful to me.

You do need a USB hard drive for dvr functions, since it doesn't have one built in. Sling has a deal going right now for a free one if you prepay for 3 months of service (which is only $75).
