you can watch air TV the free channel which is in your area where ever you are in USA like PPS and any AIR TV very clear like you see it at home all you need a sling box and short aneta for receiving
this way you keep with the local stuff like local weather local news if there is any emergency and road closer and so on its more use full for trucker than a steaming video

 

Yeah...but.... :?
There's just very little on TV anymore worth watching...let alone spending money on it to watch.

Thing I would keep in mind....the cost of your Computer vs. the TV ...if something were to go wrong.
My TV is a CD/DVD player as well...and I pick up plenty of channels OTR. Cost me like 200 bucks. If I don't get good TV reception...I'll play a DVD. I bring my DVD guitar lessons with me...and actually like it when I DON"T get any TV channels...because then I am more inclined to practice a song.

 

The resolution is quite poor using this device, barely worth watching.

 

Once again it depends on a lot of factors. especially your internet connection. Not too long ago we had to work during the Arkansas/LSU football game. I had the game slinboxed into my laptop so we could watch at work. People asked me how I got high def tv on my laptop at work. Now, these people probably have never seen true high definition television. But that would tell you that if they asked that, I was getting damn good resolution. With a good wifi connection, I find the picture very good. Very easy to watch. With my cell phone its a little more jumpy. However my buddy has a cingular cell with that new 3g broadband, and the streaming slingbox shows on that are near perfect.

 

peekvid is cool but i had to keep alert to asvance to next part, saved the shortcut, tho, thanx, now , where do i find a slingbox? radio shack? walmart? does it matter if home computer is old and weak? need info.
