So I broke down and bought myself a Slingbox…
If you know what they are, they are pretty damn cool, if you do not, well here comes the techie explanation.
It is a small component that I have plugged in at home, it connects to my cable line, and then has a network cord that connects to my router for internet access.
Now, anytime I have an internet connection, I can turn on the Slingbox software, and it will connect me to the slingbox sitting at my house and I can watch tv on my laptop using that cable connection. Neat huh? So now, while I am stuck at the airport, I can watch tv, any channel I have at home, I can flip through and watch.
The key thing and first reason for buying this device is for Red Sox games. Since I am traveling all of the time I miss an absolute ton of games since they are either not nationally televised or I am in an area that has no NESN service, not to mention missing out on the day games because I am at work.
NO LONGER A PROBLEM!
Wooohooooo
