Is there another way to watch Canadian/USA networks on the internet without having to have someone set up a slingbox back home? And i dont mean dowloading the odd show, i mean watching all the channels etc.

the only one i know of is www.streamtvnow.com
but then again, it is hit and miss and doesn't have everything like you were asking. It is up to who is streaming it and what is on.
If you got a buddy or family at home who can help you out, this slingbox is pretty ass kicking

I just purchased a slingbox and am waiting for it to arrive. For those of you who are currently using it, anything good or bad i should know?

All the reviews thus far seem fairly positive, so I have pretty high expectations.

I bought the Pro version, which if correct as advertised two people can use the same tv and watch 2 different channels as there is a tuner built into the slingbox. Although one review stated otherwise.

What luck have u had?

Im going nuts: HBO Laughing , American Football Laughing Laughing , VH1 where r they now Rolling Eyes , here I come!!!

So, you can watch something different from the TV holder, at the same time?

I tried NHL Centreice online and thought it sucked a$$ as SO many games wereb blacked out! Literally, I kid you not there were 9 games being played one time and ALL 9 were blacked out. Yeah I'd love to pay $169 bucks for that.

Ok well that is encouraging to know as I wasn't impressed with the two days I tried it on a trial period. One thing I'd like to know is whether you can see the games AFTER they have aired as many times I am working while they are on, but would gladly like to watch them later from the comforts of my home. Do you know if it's possible? During the trial period all that was possible was to see a recap of the action around the NHL, no chance to see previous games that had aired.

Have to sit around at your public school job eh? Wink (advantage of hagwons for hockey fans)

Centre ice has a 'centre ice plus' feature that lists every game from the week except not fridays yet... earlier in the week i noticed it was two days in arrears as well... so apparently (at least this week) you can't watch today's or yesterday's games, just the day before and games before that. I'll watch part of an old game later... after the full slate of games happening now.. excuse me
