I know Sprint has Sprint TV, but what other TV options are there on a Treo?

While I have not seen Sprint TV in action I understand that it is really just streaming limited TV segments and not live TV from a cable or satellite feed. One Sprint rep told me it was jumpy and did not always work so great.

I know that SlingMedia www.slingmedia.com makes the SlingBox with SlingPlayer for Windows and for Windows Mobile so anybody with an IE browser can watch their own TV at home from anywhere in the world. The problem is the SlingMedia reportedly has no plans to make SlingPlayer for Palm or the Treo’s Blazer Browser.

The question is has anybody here thought of an organized campaign (letters/e-mail) to get SlingMedia to change their mind? I e-mailed them using the Contact info from their site days ago and have yet to hear back from them. Since I worked for a distributor that sells SlingBox (and Unlocked Treos) I thought I might get a reply, but not yet.

Any thought on this?
