Re: For skins fans who keep missing the games, Possible solution for ya

Slingbox is very slick. If you have someone in the DC area who is willing to host one for you, it would be a great investment.

There are 3 Slingbox models: Pro, AV, & Tuner.
Pro is the HD version. It's got all the bells and whistles. It can handle multiple devices. I don't know if this one can act as a 'Tuner' (see below).
AV can handle only one device at a time. It can control a cable or satellite box via an IR blaster (comes with it). No tuner functionality. It has A/V and S-video inputs.
Tuner is just that - a tuner. You plug a coax straight up to it and it streams the channels (either cable or off air). If you don't have a cable or satellite box, this is the one you want.

In order to watch the Slingbox remotely, it must be connected to the internet. You must forward a port to your Slingbox via your router. You must also know the IP address of your router. I've watched my slingbox with a speed as low as 256kbps and its viewable. It's not a great picture, but it's better than the alternative.

Here is a screenshot of mine. I have about 800kbps upstream at my house. I am watching it via a T3 at work.
