Portable media solutions

While we were waiting in the airport lounge for our flight, some guy was super keen and told me about Slingbox. The slingbox device lets you watch your home TV system (including PVRs) remotely over the web. He himself was watching TV shows that he had recorded earlier and was just killing time waiting for his plane. I think it’s a very cool idea that it’s just an appliance that you hook into your TV system and it all just magically works. Much better than trying to build a home-grown web friendly system using MCE or MythTV. Currently they have a mobile Windows client and I think they are researching a Blackberry client which would be way better than BBTV.

I re-installed a MythTV system today. It was much easier to get it working the second time around (having learned a lot and having updated software). We’ll give it another try to see how well it works and what has been improved.
