Sling Media's Slingbox HD Connect up for pre-order {Engadget}

I think a few of your questions are answered at this link:

Namely, the HDMI port that really isn't, and benefits vs. the older slingbox.
For those that can downconvert the HD signal from their cable/DVR boxes to Standard Def via the S-Video port, you don't really need the HD Connect. For example, the Comcast DVR boxes do this. Just keep your sweet HDTV hooked up as is, through the Component cables or HDMI. Then, just tack on a Slingbox by using the additional S-Video port you're not using on the DVR. All ports on the back of that DVR box are hot simultaneously, and it downconverts HD content for the S-Video already. All that's left is to do some audio cable splitting, to feed your TV and Slingbox at the same time.
While I said you don't need the HD Connect for this secenario, the following review makes a case for getting one anyway.
