Watch Your Home TV--When You're Not at Home

Time-shifting--the practice of recording a TV program to watch at
another time--is so 1980s. Today, the buzzword is "place-shifting,"
and the device generating the buzz is The Slingbox Personal
Broadcaster.

Sling Media's $250 device lets you watch what's on your home TV
anywhere your notebook can make a high-speed Internet connection.
Imagine you live in Boston but you're visiting Australia. You're dying
to catch the evening TV news from Boston, so you turn on your notebook
in Sydney, connect it to your hotel room's broadband Internet
connection, and there's the Bean Town broadcast--almost as if you were
sitting on your living room couch.

The Slingbox is a box that connects to and controls your TV, DVD, or
other video source. It feeds the signals from the video source over
your high-speed home network and the Internet to your notebook. To get
the full scoop on how Slingbox works, read Richard Baguley's review:

I already do this with my replayTV in my house. I can watch prorams on my PC in my office that are recorded on it in my living room. I could probably do this via a VPN connection through my router as well.

I don't want to get into a political discussion, but Rush Limbaugh was touting this before his last vacation to France earlier this month. He has a new sponsor relationship with CompUSA and they came down and set it up for him before he went on vacation. He couldn't say enough good things about it.
