Episode 9: Slingbox by Sling Media

Wow! Is this ever cool. For only $250, you must get a Slingbox which is one of the coolest tv accessories around. The way it works is you connect it to your tv or dvr and to your internet connection (or local area network). Then you can watch shows on your computer.

It works incredibly well. Even over the internet. The quality and speed is great. Talk about nice for people who travel a lot! Also a good way to watch content from the dvr in another room of the house, bring it up on your laptop. Even connect your laptop to another tv.

The player supports full remote capabilities over your tv and dvr. It is really impressive.

    I’ve looked into slingbox about 6 months ago or more when I first heard about it. The bummer is it doesn’t work with the Mac OS system…. still the same data on their site. I wish they would expand Apple support, I’d already have it up and running!

    I agree, it would be great if they supported Mac and Linux platforms. Hopefully they will someday. Despite that, I am still really impressed with the product.

    Thanks, for listening and commenting.
