TV anywhere

I recently baught Slingbox to watch the TV anywhere. I think its a great tool for anyone who is on the go and for the family to share the content across the various places.

Things like I can show our kids birthday party to my brother in India live. Amaizing! isn't it?

Not only that, you are waiting on the Airport, your kids are boaring, hook this up with wi-fi and you are just like in your home.

Let see their Business Perspective, with this kind of box, I can see people will watch more and more TV, rather that only surfing and chating. With life so busy and hactic, it hard to find the slot to watch the TV. Earlier we had a TiVo so we can record the program, but there is nothing new, you could have done the same with VCR, DVD Recorder. But this will bring you to see live TV. This will happy TV advertisements publishers, Cable operator. I don't see they will raise any issue with SlingMedia as long as they provide one connection at a time.

What you need is to get the Laptop and find the wireless connection. In couple of year, you will find plenty of free wireless connection, as company like Google already plan to make San Francisco Wireless, Mountain View, Sunnyvale already free wireless available. Verizon off wireless connection anywhere you go in Metro area for 50bucks. So you can have your laptop on in your car and have your family watch live TV.

So far I feel good to have a little gadget like this.
