CNET's John Falcone shows you the box."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/CNet_Slingbox.jpg" /> <br /><br />Big shocker here: The Slingbox is C|Net's Editors' Choice. All I can say is <i>I want one</i>. Like now. If you're at all interested in what the Slingbox can offer, check out their video. Although I must warn you it may just push you over the edge and make you <a href="http://thoughtsmedia.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=9814732&search=slingbox&op[">=page,1891,1"]buy one</a>. And with the <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=62529">recent hubub surrounding the Slingbox</a>, you might want to consider getting one sooner rather than later...

huge props to the pocket pc client, but as one who has removed himself from the cable hookup experience, this product would have nothing to plug into. ;)

Actually unless you don't watch TV, this will pretty much stream anything. It will work with satellite, broadcast, DVD's, prerecorded Tivo content, etc.

I have one and highly recommend it.

I have one as well - its a fantastic product. I haven't used the PPC client that much, but I use it from my laptop pretty much every night from a hotel room.

This is one of the lowest cost/utility products I've bought in a long time.
