Loving the Slingbox typically means loving your media as well. Go beyond the hardware and software to what you use it to watch. Are you into sports? drama? sci-fi? Maybe you're a movie buff who doesn't want to drag their DVD collections with them on their morning train commute, or can't stand the thought of missing 24 while on that business trip? That's why you got a Slingbox, and that's why you should meet the folks just like you here ... and discuss your favorite shows, movies, videos.
