SlingBox for Christmas!!

My wife surprised me with a Slingbox for Christmas! Slingbox is basically a video encoder which includes a cable/broadcast TV tuner and an ethernet port. It will accept video from a security camera or the built-in tuner and send the video out over the internet. What's REALLY cool about Slingbox is the fact that you can watch TV from anywhere in the world! You can change channels or even select video from your security camera. Want to see the horses while on vacation? Just set up your security camera to point at their pasture and connect the video from the camera to your Slingbox. The Slingbox application runs on your laptop ...or whatever...and you simply log in over the internet to your Slingbox and viola! You have LIVE video to your computer! Or...you can watch the local 10 'clock news for your home town while you are vacationing in France! Very cool.
