Would you like to be able to watch TV from overseas and change the channels as if you were actually there? No more downloading, no more delays.
Well maybe you'd be interested in SlingBox .
When I was last in the UK in Summer 2008, you could by a SlingBox almost anywhere that sold electronics. I saw it for sale in Selfridges in London, in PC World and in Tescos. They were retailing at that stage for about 100 quid.
The big advantage to Slingbox is that you are in control. All you need to do is plug in the Slingbox to a TV or aerial in the UK, and then connect to it over the internet to watch all the content live. The obvious disadvantage is that you need to know someone in the UK who is willing to 1) plug the SlingBox into their TV system and leave it sitting there taking up space and electricity, and 2) let you clog up their internet bandwidth watching all that wonderful British TV. Of course that means that the perfect candidate is your parents. You've persuaded your mum and dad to get a shiny Apple Mac, Skype and Broadband so you can chat to them from your new overseas home - in reality you dad uses it to email the relatives about once a week, and doesn't even know what YouTube is.
Why not use up that unused bandwidth to feed your TV habit?
