[LUAU] Slingbox @ CompUSA

[Hawaii Linux Institute]

Just noticed that our local CompUSA is carrying Slingbox:

When I travel (especially to overseas), I often wish that I could 
connect to Oceanic Cable.  OTOH, when here, it is close to impossibility 
to try to watch TV shows broadcast in China or Taiwan.  The Slingbox 
seems to answer these needs.

I was wondering whether anyone has played with Slingbox?  What are your 
comments? Any alternative(s)?  TIA  Wayne
