For only $249 - you can have access to your tivo (or regular television) from anywhere in the world. That's right. You can watch that LOST episode on your tivo at home on your laptop in your hotel room in China. 
Tivo isn't required ... but tivo people are the first ones who are going to latch on to this baby. Slingbox ... clever name. Steve saw this a few months back on a business trip ... and then last weekend we saw it live in CompUSA. Oh - and there are no fees. Very nifty.
I wish they would come up with a way for my tivo to link with other tivos though. So if I was at my brothers house -- I could pull up a program on my tivo through his tivo. OR even cooler - I could just send him a program from my tivo. Or send him an "invitation" to record something I think he'll like. At least we have the DVD-burning tivo ... so I can burn programs to my hearts content. I :heartbeat: tivo.
What's your opinion of the DVD-burning TiVo? I've been contemplating one...
