Amazon.com Product Description:
The first generation Slingbox was a big step forward for so-called "place shifting" technology, a device that allowed you to view incoming TV signals on any TV computer in your home, or on any Internet-connected PC around the world. Sling Media is now introducing the successors to this groundbreaking product. Now there are three Slingboxes to choose from, each with features that make it easier than ever to bring your TV and other media with you wherever you roam. Choose from the Slingbox Tuner, AV, and Pro models depending on your entertainment needs. Compare Slingbox models.

The Slingbox Pro offers Component HD, S-video, coax, and composite video connections.

The Slingbox Pro also includes the free Slingbox Finder service to locate a Slingbox from any network location, in or out of the home.

How it Works
Slingbox Pro is a small device that connects to your cable box to redirect the TV signal to the computer of your choice--providing high quality video, no matter the distance, so long as there is a high-speed Internet connection. This technology also allows you to access and control your TV from anywhere--and your TV doesn't even have to be on.

You can enjoy signals from a digital cable box, DVR, satellite receiver, or DVD player on any computer at home, on the Internet, or on a compatible mobile phone. One of the video sources can be an HD component device.

At Home, At Work, or on the Go
At home, Now you can watch TV in whatever room in the house you choose. Say goodbye to the days of having to watch your child's favorite DVD over and over again. Now you can watch your soaps in the laundry room. You can watch your fix-it shows in the garage. Or you can watch your cooking shows in the kitchen. You'll never get stuck having to watch shows you don't want to now that you're in charge of what's on, when it's on, and where it's on.

Now that you can access your TV wherever you have your computer, the clock won't be the only thing worth watching at work. You can watch your news and business channels to stay updated. You can catch the big game while tending to business. Or, you can watch your favorite shows during your downtime. In any event, work will never just be business as usual.

With the SlingBox you can travel to another country and actually understand the programs. You can visit the in-laws and not get stuck watching The Weather Channel.

You can change channels and control your TV on your computer just as if you were in your living room. The AV and Pro models add remote control options for your home theater devices. Smartphone support is available with purchase of SlingPlayer Mobile software.

Rating : - This Thing is Slick!
I decided to purchase a Slingbox after seeing it in action on a friend's PDA phone. He casually flipped it open and said, "Excuse me, I gotta check the NCAA tournement". I glanced over and he was watching ESPN... I thought to myself, quoting Will Smith, "I gotta get me one of THESE!!".

I hurried home and ordered the Slingbox Pro and it was at my doorstep in less than a week. Set-up was pretty painful, but only because I was trying to connect with my wireless network via a defective Linksys Wireless Gaming Adapter. Finally I ran out and bought a couple SlingLinks and spent the next hour laughing and shaking my head at how easy set-up was after that. If your Slingbox isn't right next to your internet router, I HIGHLY suggest getting the SlingLinks. Definitely worth the money.

My Slingbox connects quicker than I expected with both my laptop and my HTC Touch pda/phone. Software for the laptop is free via download from the Sling website though the software for the mobile device will cost you some dinero (30 day free evaluation though). Picture and sound quality is much better than I expected and I've heard nothing but good things about their customer support... though the one time I called with a question about license transfer I got a guy who MUST have been having a bad day. Very professional, but personable?... not so much. ;)

If you want to watch YOUR programming from anywhere with an internet connection, Sling is the way to go.
