Gadget of the season: SlingBox

Getting a SlingBox was simply the best purchase decision I made in the last 3 months, especially as a frequent traveler. Technically it’s a gift for Henry but I seem to be reaping the rewards (typical Sandy gift buying strategy). Now that it’s connected to his DVR in New York, I can catch up on Project Runaway and Top Chef or watch a football game from anywhere with an internet connection… pretty sweet eh?

Once before Henry has gotten the mobile SlingPlayer working on his Samsung BlackJack, but no longer since the trial expired and it costs $29.99 - shame on Sling Media.

In fact, I look forward to the day we don’t even need to stream from home and take up unnecessary bandwidth. Instead we’d just stream from a central server or even peer-to-peer to get better quality.
