A Slingbox is a high tech device that enables you to take your home television service with you anywhere and watch live TV on a PC Laptop or Desktop Computer. Its portability is something that makes it among the most popular gadgets. Several models of Slingbox are available including the Slingbox Pro, which allows High Definition pictures to be broadcast as well.

The Slingbox works by taking the output of your cable box, satellite box or DVD player and digitizing the content to be streamed over the internet. Besides owning the Slingbox, you will have to have a fairly good Internet connection with an upstream speed of 256k.
