I have had several people ask me what a Slingbox is. Slingbox is a device that you can use in your home. You can control your favorite shows from over the Internet, using a pc, mac or cell phone.
It is also a DVR too. You can buy a pro version or solo version. The Pro version streams high definition. It works like a long distance remote and lets you watch tv on your laptop or mobile phone. So when your away on vacation and the network does not broadcast the certain college basketball game, you will always be able to connect to your laptop and get it.
That actually happened to me. I was in another town, and I wanted to see some of the playoffs in the college basketball game. The local programming TV network did not broadcast it. Listening to it , is just not the same.
If I had slingbox, I could have seen the game. Also , my hubby travels a lot, and If he had a netbook, he could watch it! All you need is an Internet connection where you go!
