Slingbox plugs into any video source at home such as cable box, satellite box, DVD player , VCR, or a digital video recorder and relays its output over your Internet connection to any computer running Slingbox playback software.
Slingbox's "IR emitter" is a small plastic pod at the end of a wire, that is positioned to face infrared remote-control receiver on the front of your video source at home so you can change channels to your viewing pleasure ,record programing or view previously recorded content any were in the world from notebooks using windows or mac OS as well as Window mobile PDA/PPCs such as WM Treo ,Samsung blackjack and so on...I Sling to my Treo 700wx ppc
Slingbox is comeing out with BB software in a couple months so you can watch TV on your Blackberry PDA which I'm looking very much forward to.
