Yes l totally agree that it would be a excellent addition to have on our tivo box or boxes.

I wish they'd hurry up with it. I've been wanting it since I first remember reading about the possibility within a PVR which probably wasn't many years after the launch of the original UK TiVo box. Things take far too long!

Its been released a month, calm down. What you read was a concept, nothing like this was really viable years ago.

Anyway, it looks like you have (and afford) every service on god's earth, how come you haven't invested in a Slingbox?

It's so long ago that I remember first reading about it that I've forgotten the details. It was back in the days when I first took an interest in PVR's, and most likely sometime between 2002 and 2005. I think ReplayTV had rebranded under replay.com around the same time because originally they weren't called that or had a different domain name. Anyway, a very long time ago.

I have several of the original slingboxes launched in the UK but I didn't know it was possible to stream from one PVR to another TV using one. After thinking about it I am sure it must be, but not without other equipment on the receiving end? I'll possibly look to drop Sky at some point when Sky News HD and a few other channels make it over to Virgin Media.
