Sling Media - View your TV from anywhere via the Internet

Sling Media SlingBox

This is really cool -- a box that grabs the output from just about any TV source (like DirecTV, Dish Network, and Cable) and streams it live over the Internet to a PC. You can even change channels remotely--it sends IR commands to the set-top box from your PC. Quality is very good--surprisingly good. Cost is $250 at Amazon or Best Buy. I wonder how this will play out from a rights perspective--I believe that they only allow viewing (e.g. no recording to the remote PC), which limits the amount of places content can be distributed, but I would also imagine that hacks will be forthcoming to get around that limitation.
