Using Sprint TV of course. Everything looks to just be episodes of shows, you cant watch live TV?

Well if I understand correctly, you have to pay the subscription or have one of the Everything plan which includes certain live channels.

Or, just get a SlingBox, no monthly fees.

Yea, I do have the everything plan but I cant find live TV on any of these channels. Also have a Mac and was told slingbox is only for PC?

SlingBox is independent from a computer. It's a box with various (depending on which model you get) inputs (Composite, Components, S-Video, built-in tuner and even HDMI), and it hooks up to your home network, then just do some changes with your router (the guide will help you), download the client software (PC, Mac, Blackberry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Palm, you name it) and you are good to go.

Just FYI the mobile clients aren't free though.
