Anyone have Sling Box

i bought one a long time ago but returned it because i couldnt figure out how to hook it up...anyways, you can only broadcast one tv per slingbox so you would need to hook it up to your tv and then you need internet access in both your home and in austin...
 
I'm getting one of these for college, so i can watch games live through my computer. Hopefully it works...
 
Yes

I do have a slingbox, and NFL sunday ticket, it rules but it's much better on TV, the video is crappy on the slingbox unless you are broadcasting with T1 or T3
 
I had some challenges hooking mine up but was finally able to get it working. I had to open a port on the router and my modem to get it working. I've hooked up grandfather so he can watch the finz games from his place, just added an upgraded video card to an old pc and hooked it up to his TV. Looks and works great.

None of the above. Its a device that upstreams your cable tv to the net and allows you to watch your "home" tv on any portable device that supports windows and has a wireless connection i.e. laptop, certain types cellphones, etc.
 
this is a device that's ahead of its time. it's not really that great right now and probably won't be for sevreal years when someone else makes it.

Do you have one?
 
I have a slingbox and mine works great. They upgrade the software regularly so the video quality and ease of use have improved a great deal since last season. I have a cable modem at both the slingbox end and on my PC side as well.
