SlingTV: Another Activity while in a Wi-Fi Hotspot

With the addition of a Slingbox to my home network, I just gave the Slingplayer on my portable PC a try while sitting inside of a Wi-Fi hotspot and the quality of the picture was just as good as it was when I was sitting at my desk at the office yesterday. Someone looking over my shoulder thought that I had a TV tuner in my PC. He was amazed to see the quality of the picture and when he saw that I was actually watching a movie on USA Networks, the "look Ma, no wires" reality of the situation sank in and I just smiled. :)

I'm going to be on the road a bit during the next couple of weeks and I now have something else to do while at the gate, waiting for a flight.

The experience that I'm having with the Slingbox is giving me even more reinforcement with the concept that the Internet can be used as an alternative "channel" to broadcast commercial TV. This is not a matter of "if", just "when."
