Ever get homesick for local TV? Well no need to panic, take your TV with you. All you need is to set up a slingbox somewhere in your home country, then watch TV through your computer. It’s that easy.

Slingbox comes in a couple of different flavors depending upon your budget and the definition you want to watch it in. The Slingbox PRO-HD is the coolest, first ever HD-streaming Slingbox. With the Slingbox PRO-HD, you can watch and control multiple devices – including your standard- or high-definition DVR, digital cable, satellite receiver, or DVD player – from anywhere in the world on your computer or mobile phone. Your high definition programming streams in HD quality for an amazing picture.

It’s probably only a manner of time when you can rent a slingbox in any country so you can watch that country’s TV remotely. There are some slingbox community groups that have slingbox exchanges, but that means that you give up the right of controlling your own TV. There’s got to be a better way.

If you do a lot of traveling internationally, and still want to stay connected to your local news, then Slingbox is for you.
