Anyone have/use one of these?

I was highly concerned about not being able to catch my teams sports games when I move to Asia, but this seems to solve the problem completely!
Supposedly you can watch live or recorded shows on ur dvr from anywhere in the world you can get an internet signal. Even control the actual tv with simulated remote!

I was selling these at my last job. An excellent piece of equipment. You can watch your TV in where in the world that you have internet or 3G access. You can use a laptop, smartphone or ipad/tablet to access your tv at home. you can even change channels, program which shows you want to watch without ever having to turn on your tv. They also give you a nice 30 min buffer so you can review past parts of a show. There's and HD version which connects 3 different a/v devices and a standard version (only 1 device).
You simply connect your cablebox to the slingbox then the slingbox to your router. setup your sling account and your ready to go. It uses your existing services so there's no subscription fee.

Yeah, the Slingbox is amazing. I have one setup in another city and watch all the local channels from there. When I plan to go abroad, I will be able to keep in touch with all the American channels and shows very easily without having to deal with Hulu, proxies, and all those things.

Just got done hooking this badboy up to my cable box here in the states.
Works great!
This is seriously one of the best inventions EVER!
