Watch YOUR TV anywhere in the world

I was listening to the “Word Soccer Daily” podcast yesterday when Nick and Steven started talking about a new device that allows you to watch your TV from anywhere in the world. It sounded intriguing, so I checked out the website….

From slingmedia.com:

Slingbox is powered by a high-performance digital signal processor from Texas Instruments, and leverages Microsoft’s latest Windows Media Video technologies to provide superior video quality. Plus, our engineering dudes developed the SlingStream optimization algorithms that automatically adapt to changing network conditions. This means that we can give you the best video quality consistently, personalized to your connection. Our variety of S-Video, Coax, and Composite RCA inputs allows you to hook up basically anything you want to a Slingbox, and sling that signal around the world. Right now, the software works with Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/MCE computers, and we will be introducing Pocket PC, Smartphone, and Macintosh-compatible versions in the coming months.

Damn, does this thing sound cool! Next time I have $237 bucks to spare, I may just have to buy one!
