Default Watch TV on your MBA!
I tried the "Pinnacle TV for Mac HD stick". It's a plug&play USB device that allows you to watch HD TV on your Mac. In this case, my MBA connected to an antenna that picks up any available signal (or it can be connected to cable too, but it's not available in the office).

A definite "thumb up" on this on.

All iPhone Pics, of course.

I use to watch my slingbox from my Dash. Wish Thursday SDK will include SlingMedia program.

very nice!

and I agree with the above post. Slingin' on the iPhone would be awesome! I used to use it on my Moto Q and still do on my N95-3, but the iPhone and Slingbox would be the perfect combo.

Nice. How much did that set you back? It's around $120, no?

Only if Steve-O thinks so.

You know when it comes to what's perfect for the iPhone, he must give it his seal of approval.

Yes, about that. It's worth it if you like watching TV on your display while computing, which I do all the time. I've been doing it since I had a Quadra 605 connected to a VCR connected to cable with a lovely app caller the "Movie Player" under system 7.
This little device is very easy to set up without reading the instructions and fool-proof as long as you have reception.
