Slingbox Question

[robblok]

I got a question, everyone is always talking about the slingbox and it caught my interest. I still have my parents in Holland so i might set up a slingbox there (might). The question is if they are watching a chanel do i have to watch the same chanel at the same time ?

Would a second small tv work to avoid this problem ?

LOL NO NO NO

You connect the slingbox to a TV antenna using a splitter then it has it's own tuner to receive the signal which is then sent to you via the internet. Your parents would have no idea what you are watching.

Just did not want to cause them inconvenience, too bad you cant capture streams because there is still the time difference that is a problem.

You could setup a computer with a tv tuner card and operate by remote desktop, record what you want then transfer the file to your pc in Thailand/

The Hava Video Streamer may meet your requirements. With the Hava, you can connect a USB hard drive to store recordings then watch (time shift) the TV programs. Personally, I own a Slingbox and have no way of knowing if these systems perform as well, worse, or better than a Slingbox. I only wish the SB offered this feature.
