NOT ONLY THAT BUT THAT INCLUDES DVR...BECAUSE YOU CAN SIMPLY RECORD RIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER...AND THEN STREAM IT BACK THROUGH ORB. OR YOU CAN WATCH LIVE TV. Get the point? ****, you could buy a dedicated 160gb hard drive AND the tvtuner for half the price of the slingbox, and all of the sudden you have (gasp) DVR anywhere + live TV anywhere. How the hell do you think I watch football games when I get sent to Japan for months!

WOW whats with all the CAPS !!!
Cool it. anyone can use whatever method they like. Each of us has our priorities.
Yes, you can build your own DVR using a PC, with a tuner that is "always on" and never crashes etc etc. Or you can buy a $200 box, plug it into a TV and watch streaming TV without all the configuration issues of a homemade DVR. When the power goes out or glitches, the unit restarts with no interruptions, unlike a PC that needs to be restarted from remote (Japan).
Each has its pros/cons.
No need to lose your temper. The whole purpose of this forum is for people to read what works for others, and not for any one of us to try and dictate what people do. Leave that to the Govt. LOL
