Slingbox is brilliant. I am watching what is on my home TV right now, while travelling in Asia. The video and audio quality are excellent. The only thing I'm having a little trouble with is changing channels remotely, and it is quite possible that in my hurry to set it up I may have overlooked something. There are multiple inputs as well as a built-in tuner so I can see what is playing on the DVD, the Media Center, or just flip through cable channels. The only reason I rated Ease of Use as a 4 is that the channel doesn't always change. Again, a little tweaking when I get home might fix that. It is one of those things that I wonder how I ever lived without. Go buy one and you'll see what I mean.
