slingbox

Well folks have you ever had to be somewhere but at the same time you knew you'd miss your favorite show. Well today you won't ever have to miss your favorite show again. There is a product I highly recommend called the Slingbox. There are a couple of versions. One is the Slingbox Solo and the other is the Slingbox Pro-HD. They connect to a cable box, satellite receiver, DVR, video/ security camera, DVD player recorder, Apple TV, and Windows Media Center. Yes you see right, you can connect a video camera and watch from anywhere you are, so if are on vacation you can check to see if your house is ok. But its more than just that. If you have a laptop, mac, netbook, or mobile device with an internet connection you can watch your shows. For my fellow sport fans that have to be at their mother-in-laws and have no access to your sports game can use this and not miss the game. lol! The Pro-HD version can do everything the Solo can plus connect up to 3 home theater devices, stream your HD content, and built-in TV tuner. This is gadgety goodness at its best! To be able to use this you will need a Windows or Mac based PC, high speed internet connection, and home network router. Retail prices for the Slingbox Solo are 149.99 and for the Pro-HD version is 299.99. The only other kicker is a one time fee of 29.99 to get the program to run on your preferred portable device. From the Android, Iphone4, blackberry, Windows mobile, Symbian, or Palm OS all are supported so everyone can watch. Definately something I will invest in once my rural community gets hooked up with high speed internet.
