State of the Art
TV Anytime or Place: The Sequel

O.K., it's happened: we're officially old.
When you sheepishly tell your children that you used to have to watch
TV shows by sitting down in a certain place at a certain time - well,
you know you're old.
First came the TiVo and its ilk, eliminating the bit about sitting
down "at a certain time." Then came the Slingbox from Sling Media,
which obliterated the need to be "in a certain place." Later,
SlingPlayer Mobile software for cellphones even wiped out the part
about "sitting down."
Of course, the Slingbox isn't nearly as famous as the TiVo; you may
not even have heard of it. In that case, saying that the new Slingbox
Solo has a lower price ($180) than its predecessors and has built-in
jacks for high-definition gear probably won't mean much to you.
In that case, a primer is in order.
