New Slingboxes spotted on shelves, though not for sale, http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/1/3436572/new-1080p-wi-fi-slingbox-300-500-photo-specs-best-buy
For those not familiar with Slingbox, it is a device/service that lets you view your home TV shows anywhere you have Net on a PC, Laptop, Tablet, or Smartphone.
More info at their site http://www.slingbox.com/go/slingbox?displayVideo=true or Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingbox
Personally not a fan of TV, I am a Book Worm & Indie Move fan, but my girlfriend loves TV & Movies, Netflix is her BFF.
And we are getting close to cord cutting, so I am gonna hold off on getting her one, rather get her a new iPad with LTE to replace her WiFi only iPad, so she can watch Netflix more places when we are out of town.
Or Amazon Prime, IIRC they now let the Video Player app on iOS download Videos for offline watching just like they have allowed on Kindle Fire from day 1.
Wouldn't mind hearing from people that use Slingbox, might be something about it I would be interested in?
