We're not kidding! If everything goes to plan, Sling Media, a San Francisco based start-up, at year end will begin selling the SlingBox Personal Broadcaster (MSRP $199), a device that plugs into a DVR, cable box, satellite receiver, or stereo at home and converts the analog stream into digital bits which can then be sent directly, in real-time, to any network PC or portable device (Laptop, PDA, cellphone, etc.) with a high-speed Internet connection."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/sling_media_logo.gif" /><br /><br />Wow. 8O Technically, this sounds amazing, but I'm always a bit dubious until I see the implementation. I've seen great technologies wither and die because the company making them couldn't figure out how to package them properly...

It sounds great - and at a very nice price. I think they have a winner if they get it right.

Fingers crossed for a decent implementation.

Is this legal? Maybe I'm overlooking it, but where is the protection for "rights holders"?

Of course I don't personally care other than this is really cool and I don't want it shot down by a judge.
