HOME ENTERTAINMENT: Slingbox

WHAT: If you've got a broadband connection at home, Slingbox is a piece of hardware that you hook up to your television at home, allowing you to watch your TV while you on the go: from another computer or your mobile phone.

WHY: Alright, so having a DVR is pretty cool: it's the big fad right now, allowing television viewers to basically "mash-up" network programming, effectively creating your own programming channel. Viewers no longer need to decide between two competing shows that are on at the same time; watch one, record the other - and best of all, skip the commercials.

Not so cool for the networks or advertisers, though.

Then came Slingbox. You hook it up to your AV stuff at home, and voila! You can continue to watch what you want no matter where you are. Watch all your channels from your office desk - or on the otherside of the world. Prices start at $129.99, with no monthly costs. Yes, you can also watch your recorded shows that are on your tv. For television addicts, the drugs just keep getting stronger.
