Sounds cool! How's it going? What did you get?

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

i got it mainly to watch TV in my room without a Satellite box. the over-the-internet thing is just a bonus... i'll test that out at bread co tomorrow.

workin flawlessly so far.

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.
