The Slingbox looks like the greatest thing since sliced bread. And I definitely want one. But I am thoroughly confused as to what hardware I will need to get other than the Slingbox unit itself. Any assistance would be appreciated.
What I've got:
(1) Time Warner high definition digital cable with the Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HD DVR;
(2) Roadrunner/Earthlink cable modem (wired for use with my home desktop);
(3) HP Pavilion zd7000 laptop with wireless internet (which would be used to watch TV on the road).
My big question is whether I need a wireless connection/router at home. Do I? And what other hardware purchases might be required to complete the set-up (wiring/installation of ethernet cable? a wireless bridge?).
