A Slingbox can redirect up to four live Audio/Video signals from a cable box, satellite receiver, PVR, or other Audio/Video source to the viewer’s PC located anywhere nearby, such as in home or office, or, when using a broadband Internet connection, anywhere in the world.
Don’t upgrade your CABLE, hell don’t even waste your time ordering it!
I will be able to use my existing setup (Computer connected to my 52″ TV).
I will purchase a ‘Sling Box’ and connect it to my Mom’s Cable Box(or anyone I trust not to tamper with the box) and Voila, I get the same Cable stations at my house that is 2 hours away.
The Slingbox utilizes Sling Media’s proprietary SlingPlayer to display audio and video on Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X, and select mobile devices. SlingPlayer is not available for Linux, BSD or other open source systems. However the Windows version of SlingPlayer will run on open source systems via Wine. The latest SlingPlayer version for Windows is version 1.5 (technically 1.5.0.325). This version adds or improves support for specific audio/video devices.
