The Vulkano Flow enables users to watch their home cable or satellite service over the Internet from anywhere on almost any computer or mobile platform. It also allows users to record content directly to a computer. It supports PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and BlackBerry platforms. The Flow also offers a Wi-Fi connection to a home router, unlike any placeshifting device we've seen before.The Vulkano Flow provides no Web site access functionality unlike Sling. The Electronic Programming Guide isn't always reliable and we had the beta Mac version of the system's player crash on us a few times. We also wish it had HDMI ports and an editable port assignment for out-of-network access. The mobile apps cost extra, but nowhere near what Slingbox charges.
