Yes... a couple of years back I had access to a unit in the US when I was sorting out a software issue. It was pretty neat and if you did not mind the traffic costs there were are whole heap of channels on offer (it was a DirecTV setup with 700+ channels). Of course there was nothing worth watching other than US-centric news broadcasts.
Howdy,
Long time no hear eh Thomson?!
You must have been married a while now 'cos you're finally back on the forum ... old habits die hard (they say). Any day now we'll see a new TWP release! (maybe) ... heh heh just jealous.
Anyway, it's been a while since we bought the SlingBox and I can now report ... we actually use it plenty:
- On a laptop anywhere round the house as was suggested
- In a small window watching sport while using the computer for other 'work'
- A friend has used it while in hotels around the country for work (I don't get out much)
Just a bit of fun really.
Sean.
