"Slingbox enables consumers to watch their cable, satellite, or digital video recorder (DVR) programming from wherever they are, turning any Internet-connected laptop or desktop PC into a personal TV. The Slingbox redirects, or "placeshifts", a single live TV stream from a cable box, satellite receiver, or DVR to the viewer's PC located anywhere in the home. If the Slingbox is coupled with a broadband Internet connection, the viewer's live TV stream can be "placeshifted" via the Internet to a PC located anywhere in the world." The product has won a bunch of awards this year.
