Slingbox....my next must have gadget

Ok, so I am a Tivo addict, and despite the fact that Windows Media Center looks great and even seems to work well, I don’t want to pay $2000 for a DVR that needs patching just like my laptop.  Besides, the last thing I need is for my wife to have to use a computer to watch TV.  I hear her frustration every time I contemplate a Windows MCE for my DVR. 

But I digress, I have Tivo and I love Tivo, it blows the doors off of the Time Warner DVR I tried.  Tivo is to TV as iPod is to Music.

So how do we extend our TV viewing?  I want to try this new device that makes your home TV setup, be it just cable, satellite, DVR, Tivo, and pushes it through your broadband connection or just your home network to any Windows PC! 

I haven’t decided if this needs to be a “research” purchase or a wish list item for Christmas.
