Slingbox

Which one of you NFL Network people also has a slingbox and also will let me watch the Eagles game over it Thursday night? I don't get NFL Network (no, not switching to satellite), and don't want to go out to a bar to watch it. Someone here will be able to hook me up...

i dont know shtein about shtein when it comes to this stuff but

doesnt your computer have to have the software or whatever and be hooked up to it?

someone who has a slingbox cant just fire a signal to a random computer and make tv appear on it

can they?

Essentially, they can. If I had their log on and password, my computer connects to the slingbox through their IP address. So, no, not everyone can connect, but if you have the credentials, it's a piece of cake.

oh so slingbox is web based...i thought you had to download some sort of slingbox software on your computer and then only that computer could get the signal

what you are saying is its just like getting the mlb computer package where i have my sign on and password and just go to mlb.com enter it and watch the phillies

Actually, I think there is a slingbox player app, but I got that the first time I used someone's (who isn't available this time). So yes, there is a specific player, but then it's internet based.

So, who's gonna hook me up?

It's not that he doesn't want to; it's his wife won't let him

And meanwhile, SD will be laughing all the way to the microwave to get his burrito.

It's not so much "won't let me" but me saving the headache that comes with it for the weekend....

But yeah, way to dig deep....
