Today is a good day to own a slingbox
I just thought I would mention that.
Of course if we lose, today will have been a terrible day to have a slingbox. |

my big plan is for the slingbox and then get a nice big hdtv lcd (whatever) tv that can be easily hooked to a computer.
just like watching the games at home

The tourney is also available online for those interested in popping about $25 for the whole thing. Of course at that rate, it wouldn't take long to pay for a slingbox.

additionally, when I talked to the slingbox people they insinuated that a tv to tv device would be coming soon

The slingbox sends an internet feed. I can watch that feed on my laptop or my desktop. I can patch that feed into my TV from my laptop (my TV accepts VGA cable). Alternatively my desktop's graphic card has a s-video output as well (but not moving that anymore). So when I watch on TV, I have to select "VGA" as my input. I can't watch two inputs at once. |

In my case, my brother has regular cable. And we just use a splitter. One end goes to his AV equip, the other end goes to my slingbox.
So we can watch different channels. |
