Default Re: Slingbox

I recently purchased slingbox (mainly because I took a global position recently and will be in London and Tokyo for a few weeks each quarter) so far it rocks. I live in NJ and was in LV last weekend - through hotel internet connection I was able to stream TV easily to my laptop.

I also can now watch TV on my commute to work each day on my laptop with the wireless cards (and it streams my DVR too which is really nice). Note on the verizon broadband wireless cards - they apparently limit bandwith to 10 GB per month which can go quickly with slingbox - so beware. To date the comparable sprint service is not doing this yet. I'm waiting for verizon to void my agreement and then I would pickup a sprint card.

I saw a demo of slingbox last year and I think its really improved since then. I really hope they add blackberry pearl support, but it does work on Treo's and other palm and/or winCE phone devices.
