Having initially pulled earlier changes in what was described as "an error," the carrier has again modified the terms to specifically prevent "redirecting television signals for viewing on Personal Computers." It's not evident whether the phrasing refers to any PC-l... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/29/att.anti.sling.tos.returns/ Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/16/slingplayer.not.approved/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/slingplayermobile-iphone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sling Mediaís SlingPlayer app for the iPhone has been denied approval into Appleís App Store, according to an unconfirmed tip from a source close to Appleís approval processes.
