have you heard of a slingbox? basically it allows someone from back home (friend or family) to connect their digital cable box to a highspeed internet connection, allowing you to surf their cable package just like back home. |

ok one problem i've run across... is the set up... it says that i have to have my computer on the internet that the slingbox is hooked up to for start up. Im already in south korea am i supposed to send my laptop home for the set up or can my family put it on their computer and then send me the software to load it on mine. Thanks |

Have them set it up with a computer at the house, then once set up you will be given a code and then you can download slingbox on your computer from slingbox.com and enter the special code. Just some advice, have whoever is buying the slingbox buy an extra cable box also, its a pain trying to watch it on the same one as your family. When you turn the channel on there, it turns it on the tv also. |

I don't believe that you can hook it up straight to a TV, I believe. I could be wrong, but I thought it had to be a cable box. Let me know how it works out for ya' |
