the othe really nice thing about the slingbox is the mobile componant.

I use a sprint 6700 with their EVDO network and get great throughput on the train, on 280 while driving or anywhere else I am in most major cities. I can just turn on the news and listen with an earpiece, or plug the audio into the car jack and have instant CNBC, CNN, news, whatever.

I had about 20 minutes before the opening of da vinci code the other day, and we just watched the nightly news right there in the theatre. Why wait till we get home. When in the airport, plane whatever I just watch the slingbox right on my phone. Quality is really quite good even over the EVDO network. I get about 300-500 kps on the mobile slingbox.
