My Rogers Bold 9700 also prompted me to update to 743 which I did and I lost the ability to use SlingPlayer Mobile for my 9700. It would work once (maybe twice) on the lowest quality setting and then stop working until a battery pull.
No one other than SlingMedia knows when or if they will fix the problem with the later firmware versions and SlingPlayer.
In terms of not downgrading your OS, that is your decision based on functionality/stability/desire for the new firmware and your desire to use SlingPlayer Mobile on your Blackberry which I'm assuming you paid for or you are currently on the 1 month trial period.
Personally, after running 743 for a few days, I didn't notice much difference between the 743 firmware and what I had prior to updating (which was 593) so I downgraded the firmware to what I was using (593) since I wanted to use SlingPlayer Mobile on my 9700 (and I didn't
NEED to have the latest/"greatest" firmware). There is a later version than 593 that is compatible with SlingPlayer Mobile v1.0.0.13 (latest version of SlingPlayer Mobile for Blackberry) but since I was happy with 593 and it was already on my PC from a previous firmware upgrade, I just went with that version.
If it helps your decision on keeping the latest firmware on your Blackberry and waiting for Sling Media to release a fix the problem or downgrading the firmware on your Blackberry so that SlingPlayer works on your Blackberry Bold 9700, I read somewhere (I believe that it was on the SlingCommunity forum) that it might take awhile for Sling Media to actually fix the problem on the Blackberry since they are either concentrating their efforts on an Android version and/or waiting for Blackberry to release OS 6 on their devices.
