TV++, watch it anywhere

Continuing from my previous blog, this is the last blog of this series that will talk about options that will get your favorite programs and media files for view anywhere. You don't really need that TV set in your home to watch the last episode of "The Family Guy". You can watch it over the internet from anywhere - your office (you don't really wanna do that), coffee shop, airport lounges, etc., etc., any place with a wi-fi. All you need is to add this one more box to your home theater setup, called 'SlingBox'.

SlingBox can connect to a DVR or TiVo and broadcast your signals across the internet so that you can watch them on a laptop from any place. They also have a product called Sling Catcher which can grab signals from a SlingBox within the limited radius and let you watch TV on another television or laptop within the house.

On their website, they have shown the various uses of a SlingBox. watch it here.

So, If you recognize yourself as someone who is addicted to television, spends a lot of time in front of it; and often misses other things in life, this is the setup for you- LCD/Plasma TV, TiVo and a SlingBox. And maybe a good BlueRay player for those rentals.

What can be the next development in television broadcast? I am guessing it going to become even more mobile. Like, for eg., you can connect to your channels using a mobile phone. You need a media streaming client in your mobile phone that can connect to your home DVR/TiVo and get your personal media; or watch your channels on a mini TV in your car. Wait and watch!!
