Fifty Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Anyone tried one of these - google it you can apparently watch a home based TV from anywhere in the world over a broadband connection - how neat is that! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 this is the one where you can record to it and then playback anywhere via laptop right? havent heard anything bad about it to be honest well maybe that 2 it appears to say that you can watch YOUR TV on your computer via broadband anywhere in the world - terrific and may be exactly what I need when abroad.

rob wild Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yeah i've had one since may and its really good I have two things plugged into it one is my Virgin V+ Box and a camera. You can watch and change the channel over the Internet via the sling player But you can also do this over your mobile if you have 3G broadband phone. Its really cool i quite often watch top gear on my mobile etc when i'm work (at lunch time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently took delivery of the Elgato Eye-TV, which is great, but as we aren't getting digital tv in Eastbourne until 2012, I can only use my Wii with it (which is great BTW), or terrestrial tv channels.

I did have a good read on the Slingbox website, and found that it will work with my Mac laptop at home, so I may well be getting one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
