I have been using the Slingbox for over a year. I have traveled all over the world and can watch my Dish Network where ever I go. There are three kinds of slingboxes now. They offer the Tuner, AV, and the PRO. I have the original version that works like the AV. Here are the descriptions of all three.

Tuner:  The Slingbox TUNER is the perfect companion for your basic cable subscription. The Slingbox TUNER allows you to watch and control live TV anywhere you go. Plus, it connects directly to your cable outlet so that you don’t even need a TV at home to turn any computer or phone into a portable TV. With a Slingbox TUNER you will never be separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, or breaking news stories. Retail Price $179.99

AV:  The Slingbox AV is the perfect companion for your DVR, digital cable, or satellite receiver. The Slingbox AV allows you to watch and control live TV, or any other TV entertainment you have, anywhere you go. Using an Internet connected computer or wireless mobile device, you can watch and control your home TV, DVR, digital cable box, or satellite receiver around town or around the globe. With a Slingbox AV you will never be separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, breaking news stories, digital video recordings, or video on demand. Retail Price $179.99

PRO: The Slingbox PRO is the perfect companion for your home theater. The Slingbox PRO allows you to watch and control up to three standard definition and one high definition video devices anywhere you go. Using an Internet connected computer or mobile device, you can watch and control your home TV, DVR, basic cable, digital cable box, or satellite receiver around town or around the globe. With a Slingbox PRO you will never be separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, breaking news stories, digital video recordings, or video on demand. Retail Price $249.99

As you can probably tell, the PRO is the best item to get if you are looking to really enjoy all that Slingbox has to offer. You can find the Slingbox here on Ebay, but also at major retail stores like Bestbuy, Circuit City, etc.

Finally, there is one more product for the Sling box. It is a wireless ethernet jack that turns an a/c outlet into an ethernet port. This is if your TV with you Reciever is not next to an ethernet jack. This is so you can hook everything up to you wireless network also. works great.

Again, I have used this all over the world. And it works great. It even works with my wireless Verizon Card. I hope this is helpful and you get you TV up and running no matter where you are in the World.
