SlingMobile (this is kinda funny)
I use SM on my Verizon XV6800 running from a Slingbox Pro with the HD dongle all running from a high def Time Warner cable box.
I switch back & forth between both the high def feed & the built in analog tuner of the Slingbox. When I use the analog feed, I can watch a different channel than the one the home TV is set to.
Things where a little slow at work the other day, & I was sitting in my office watching an HBO On Demand movie on my phone using my S9 stereo BT headset. My boss (who is a really cool guy) walked in behind me but I was absorbed in the movie & didn't even realize he was there.
When I realized he was there I jumped (it scared the poo out of me) & I wasn't sure if he would care that I was watching TV on company time (even though all my work was caught up). He finally asked what I was watching & I told him. His reaction was NFW, how the heck are you doing that??
When I explained that I got all 200 cable channels that way (including all the on-demand channels) he was dumbfounded. He asked what the monthly fee was & I told him no fee at all over & above what you already pay for cable, you just have a one time hardware cost & need a router if you don't already own one.
At that point, he said "I have to have that, can you hook me up with it??"
I told him "sure, that's no problem". At that point, he handed me his Gold Amex card & the key to his house & told me "go buy the stuff & then go over & let yourself in & hook up whatever's needed there"
I did all that, cam back to work & installed SM in his WM phone & the guy's in heaven right now!!
