New way to watch TV - Slingbox

I first saw the Slingbox when I was checking out CNet footage of the Consumer Electronics Show this year.  What is a Sling box? It's an electronic device that "placeshifts" the signal from your TV, satellite or your DVR to any computer or laptop...at home, work, wherever, as long as you have a high-speed Internet connection.  Basically, streaming real-time TV to another computer.

CNet has done a review, along with the Wall Street Journal and PC Mag.  The reviews are very promising for this new product.

Sling Media has promised that in a couple of months it will be compatible with select PDAs, smartphones, and Macs.
