Since I can't get Sunday ticket, I might as well hook this up to someone that has it and watch their football on Sundays.
Any reason why this would not work?

It is illegal, but it will work! tulsa

The way it is now, you have to have your cable internet coming out of the wall, into the sling box....In the future...they will have it so if you have a wireless network at home...You can just plug in a small little wireless device into that port instead......

Hard to explain if you don't really understand......

In other words....if you have your cable internet coming into your house at one point, and into your PC and wireless router.....You can just have this little box that will connect to your sling box...and it will have the same connectivity as if it were connected directly to your cable internet source

In the coming months, SlingPlayer™ software, the software application that connects users to their Slingbox and allows remote control of the video source device, will be available for select PDAs, smart phones, and Macintosh computers.
