Lucena,

do you have anyone @ home, from what I understand slingbox takes control of the TV and whoever his home has to watch what you are watching, is that the case?

 

[Lucena]

yes it does

yes it does

but put it in a spare bedroom or something

i can watch my cable and my dvr from the road in a hotel room

great great product

quality is good too

Why not just watch the TV in the hotel? I dont see the big appeal? :shrug:
