Slingbox? Any utility?

[tomahawk51]

Has anyone seen this Slingbox thing? http://www.slingmedia.com/what.php4

Perhaps in the future this may be a way to solve my digital cable problem. Currently my PC is located at an inconvenient distance from my digital cable box, and since I don't want to pay for another box I simply recieve only analog.

Something like the slingbox might let me leverage my home wifi by letting me get a digital cable stream up to my PC.

Any thoughts? Am I off my rocker?

I just saw that on TV last night, I think the name was "I gotta have that" or "I want that". Kinda a home gadget show on HGTV.
