So, I'm in the market for a Slingbox or some alternative. The original idea was to get my mother one for Christmas so she could watch TV/DVR on her computer or iPad while at the condo in Florida. Theortically, I'd also use it while at work (but not at the same time).
The issue with Slingbox is that there isn't a good way to watch TV live at the house while someone else might watch the DVR/TV elsewhere.
I've done some research and found that the Slingbox HD has a tuner so in theory someone could watch cable TV at both - but to get the DVR end of things working, you'd be moving wires and such to no end.
Anyone have any history with Slingbox and alternatives?
Thanks in advance.
