Slingbox
You probably do not want to stream HD from the slingbox. A regular slingbox can kill the 5GB limit on a Verizon wireless connection in a couple of days. If you only watch an hour or so on the weekend then you will be ok. I save the slingbox for something I really want to see while on the island.
The image from the slingbox is passable, but not great over the internet. It is terrific within a home LAN, but once you get to internet speeds the image become less clear. Sometimes it is good enough and better than missing a TV show.
Mine is the original Slingbox, hooked up to a Tivo Series 2. It has been that way for a few years. It works just fine. I mostly use broadcast TV which is three channels, and the slingbox for must see TV that I cannot otherwise get. I used it a lot before the 5GB cap a couple of years ago.
If you cancel your cable TV, will the price of your internet service go up?
