    I like the Slingbox, never used the Sony, though we have reviews of both. You should keep in mind that both may violate the terms of your cable/satellite usage. I don't know what the implications are, but some day they might get shut down. In the end I think the sling provides better value and more flexibility.

    I second the slingbox as I have one myself, great interface and the ability to watch home programs is worth the entry cost.
