TV?

Cal Alum, I think I heard of those boxes, aren't they just hacked cable boxes where you can "sling" into any cable system's live events? Like say you want to watch the NYC local news, you just sling into there network right? A guy told me about those boxes couple years ago, apparently they are still around.

Thanks for reminding about this. If I keep having trouble with BU online I might have to invest in one of these. In fact, I'm going to be back to Peoria for Thanksgiving and might have to purchase one and set it up at my mom's house. I have a couple of friends who use them and they seem to work great. In fact I've seen one of them watching his TV on his cell phone and was surprised at how great it worked and looked.

Yes, I connect over the internet to a sling box in Peoria where I can watch Peoria's cable system. It's great when the show you want is being broadcast. I have no idea what's going on tonight. Nothings working.

Here is the slingbox that was referred to. It is a device that connects to your home cable as well as the internet, and allows you to watch any channel your cable receives from a laptop or computer anywhere in the world.
It's a great idea for anyone who travels.
