    well, that was easy.

    now i just need a slingbox iphone app.

    i just got a slingbox solo. Streaming (and changing channels) perfectly to my MBP as we speak.

    i also need to find a way to record...

    I used to have the first Slingbox (2 years ago), but upgraded when the new ones came out. I now have the Slingbox Pro with the HD dongle thing. I can stream via my AT&T Tilt, but not via an iPhone. I hope with the new iPhone, Sling Media will release a mobile player for that.

    I have my cable box, DVD player and a camcorder attached to the box. It's cool. I can spy on the dust in my apartment when I am at work.

    I watch TV on my work PC during my lunch hour. Or so my boss thinks

    Dude, via the internet is cool. I watched TV all the way from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. I have no idea where the cell towers are in the dessert, but I got 3G all the way.

    I love my SlingBox, one of the best tech devices I've purchased. It works so well and I hope that there really is a SlingPlayer app available for the 3G iPhone shortly after the release.
