anyone heard of Slingbox?

Post by bigblockmatt »

Hey, any of you guys ever heard of the Slingbox? supposedly it is some box that hooks up your TV and broadcasts it over the internet so you can watch your TV anywhere with a broadband internet connection. my boss was looking into it and was wondering if you all have ever heard about it. http://www.slingmedia.com/us/slingbox/ thats their website.

i cant see how the quality would be that good unless you have a really fast connection at your house.

Personally, I think its the better option compared to sony's location free.

But yeah, interesting to see what the quality is like on average connection speeds.

I could only justify a Slingbox if I had a PC in my living room... which I don't. Yet. They sound pretty awesome!
