Just an FYI, but if you are thinking about it you may want to do it sooner rather than later.

Content Owners in the US are starting to make noise that they want the slingbox declared illegal because it violates their retransmission rights. link
Quote:
“Content owners don’t like it [Sling] because they think it violates their copyrights,” HBO CTO Bob Zitter said during a panel here Tuesday. Zitter’s comment came in response to a question from the audience concerning how new technologies are changing the way content is distributed.
Quote:
Asked if legal proceedings were underway against Sling, Zitter said: “Not involving us, but from others.” When asked if HBO was planning such legal actions, Zitter replied: “I don’t think I want to say.”
My techie geek lust may not allow me to let this sale pass.
