For those of you who like your placeshifting to be done by a PC rather than an external device, Orb 2.0 is now out of beta and available as a free download from Orb.com.

I use both Orb and a Slingbox and they both have positives and negatives. I’ve resisted the beta of Orb 2.0 only because I’ve been drowning in betas lately but once I get a minute, I’ll install the final version and do a review of how well it works on a UMPC.

I can say that Orb works better than Slingbox over GPRS on my phone, but the Sling has been easier for the kids to figure out.
