yes - that sound like a good option - any slingbox will do in my book. But if you have HD signal - get a HD model even though the bandwidth might not be high enough to support it.

But the cleaner the input signal (eg. like Digital HD) the better the slingbox (or any other video compression codec) can compress the signal. So more noise in signal = more bandwidth used for "nothing"

And since HD mostly uses component in the US as far as I know - you get a bit cleaner signals compared with Composite or S-VHS.

And you could even hook up the DVD and watch movies together - just remember there can be up to 20 sec. delay :-) - i watched a ball game once and had friend on skype... and they cheered before I did..... :-)
