Slingbox - a tool you can use

Hi,

i have been using Slingbox for a couple months now.

It is now $149.99 at amazon, thru J&R Music world.

This is a great price for an item that if you are doing lots of business or even want to make your baby monitor remote internet capable.

What do you do?
1. Setup slingbox to your internet router at home. (you have to setup UPNP on your router. slingbox has a neat page here to help with the setup)
2. Pick a video feed you want to input into your slingbox. You can use a tivo, digital cable box, video security system, baby monitor output.
3. Each Slingbox has a unique ID that gets stored in the slingmedia database. So you do not need a fixed IP address. Also you dont need to pay any monthly fees.
4. you can use a desktop in another room, desktop in another building, laptop.
5. My favorite feature. Windows Pocket PC phones, have a software module that can pickup live video feeds over GPRS EDGE network. If you have Tmobile, or Cingular or Sprint, you can get this feature.

I check my video cameras at the office over the phone. Very slick and useful.

if you been thinking i want slingbox but 200 buckaroos was too steep, then now is the time.

Ok, in the links section, Sam's Amazon Store. I have an amazon store setup for the items i feature in this blog. Check it out, browse. Buy if you like. If you want to buy something from amazon, and you want me to review the product comment on a post.
