The Slingbox is a device that connects to the back of your TV. It redirects, or “placeshifts,†the TV signal from your cable box, satellite receiver, or digital video recorder (DVR) to your Windows based computer, no matter your location — so long as you have a high-speed Internet connection. Whether you”re in another room or in another country, you”ll always have access to your television.
Fascinating technology, done well, for users who want something that’s playing on their home TV and isn’t available on the TV where they are.
Score: 3.5/5
The Slingbox Personal Broadcaster has its uses, but its image quality may be disappointing unless you have a high-bandwidth connection.
Score: 3.5/5
If you can’t live without your favorite shows, the Slingbox will beam them to any broadband-connected PC in the world.
Score:7.2/10
Still, I really like the Slingbox and can heartily recommend it to roaming TV lovers. It is a very good product that finally makes TV place shifting a reality.
