I just purchased a SlingBox Solo, and I'm a very happy camper. Best Buy had a sale and I had an old gift card I hadn't used. After picking one up I am very impressed at how easy it is to set up. Now I can watch my cable tv at work. Makes the day go by a lot easier.
I only have a few complaints, first when changing channels can be very annoying. The streaming takes a blow and surfing through the channels can take very long time. The slingbox uses an ir adapter and you are psychical changing the cable box channels. The problem is that the stream lags about one or two second and then jumps around until the upstream catches up again. So every time you change the channel there is this lag. But you can have favorite channel buttons for your channels you like to watch. Also if you are thinking about this purchase make sure you have a reliable 1 meg up load.
