There's a new product that could impact the way you watch TV. While TiVo allowed people to alter their viewing schedule,
Sling Box allows you to change where you watch TV. This should really appeal to travelers. Here's how it works: Say there's a football team you love and you're on the road when a game is being broadcast locally at home. By synching up your computer and your TV with the Sling Box, you can watch the game on your computer wherever you are in the world via your Internet connection. This idea is so strong that Dish Network just paid $380 million to buy Sling Box from the two brothers who founded the company. People who own vacation or second homes also are poised to benefit from the Sling Box. While they previously had to pay two cable or satellite bills, Sling Box will soon allow them to only pay for service at their main home and then get the programming at their second home for free!
