Yes, the content is great/HD on any device within the household; however, only one person can be streaming at a time (that's how it always has been, if not then content providers would have attempted to come down hard on Sling Media years ago).

My SimpleTV streams to multiple devices. Not sure why content providers would allow it to do so, but not the Slingbox. Maybe the Slingbox doesn't have the hardware to handle simultaneous streams.
SimpleTV is a nice product, but only serves up OTA (for ~$150). Slingboxes allow you to serve up virtually any content from any device (OTA, Cable, Satellite, DVD/VCR, Video cameras, audio components, etc...whatever you want to hook up to it - and you can have multiple devices, and just switch the input, as-needed).

You also have to have a premier subscription ($60/yr or $150 for a lifetime) to have more/advanced features, which includes the much-desired ability to stream outside the home to your device or computer.

So for $50, this a very good deal - and they've been around for 10 years.
