I love my Slingbox

Can yall tell me more about it..? How much? Easy to set up ?

I have the iPhone and am looking at the app right now for it...it says it's only 29.99. For some reason I just don't think that's right and fear I'll be screwed If I orde that app.

You have to buy a slingbox as well. I bought the Slingbox Pro 2 years ago and it cost be $185. The setup is really simple especially if you have a router. The connection to the internet is a single ethernet cord. The connections to the cable box/TV/DvD player/any other video or audio source are pretty simple. I have incoming 2 RCA video/audio, 1 incoming S-video, and 1 incoming co-axial cable for a total of 4 input sources.

For the software, you download the computer version to a laptop/desktop from the slingbox website. There will be an installation wizard that will help you do everything. You will give your singbox a name and setup a password. The whold process takes less than 20 minutes.

After you download the software for a phone, all you have to do is to input your slingbox name and password. Set it to connect to your slingbox automatically and you're set. I believe they also have free technical service for a year after purchase. I have never needed it despite moving 3 times, changing laptops twice, and changing phones once.

And like the original poster said, it paid for itself a thousand times over.
