Until the prices of broadband for 3mbps upload goes down I don't think a slingbox is readily available to be used by all the households. Great idea for a product but terrible for the amount of bandwidth that we currently have given our current slumping economy.
I used the slingbox when I was in college to watch my parent's cable, and I thought it was pretty good. sure, it's not exactly HD but it's close enough - and it's much cheaper than $45 a month for cable! The only problem I had with it is that connecting it was sometimes a pain (the computer setup I mean). And sometimes it would lose connection in the middle of a football play - not cool. But, all-in-all it's a good solution for streaming your television. I do recommend it!

I hear ya. I see all those Verizon crews ripping the fiber back out of the ground because the economy sucks. Seems kind of inefficient to me because they gotta put all back when the economy gets better, but what do I know?
