"At home on your 50" Samsung Plasma" . Just joking.

Seriously, try ORB. its a freee app that works very well with WM.You will need a TV tuner for your pc though. Bu they are pretty cheap now.

I think your best way would be the TV on the PC setup.

EDIT Without sling box

You ask what the "best way" is & then say without a SlingBox which is by far & away the best way..........

i disagree about the slingbox. I got one because everyone was raving about them, but I have never gotten it to stay in remote connection mode. also Its pretty ridiculous to make people pay an extra $30 for an already expensive setup, especially when the main reason that people are buying the thing is so they can watch tv on their phones. if watching sports is what you want, just get skyfire and use channelsurfing.net most all the games are on there. and if you just want to watch something on your phone to kill some time just go over to hulu.com.

Get a Hava platinum - I got mine on sale at amazon for 80 bucks out the door.

Slingbox sucks, it's harder to setup and the mobile player costs extra. Have is cheaper and better and I didn't have to touch my router to get it working. The quality is better than a sling. I have owned and used both. Only issues right now are the mobile player won't work in landscape on a touch pro which hopefully they fix soon. Also the remote connection quality needs to be improved. Local is faboulus - but for the price you can't go wrong - mobile player is free

Alright, I will add my 2 cents about tha hava.

I bought one of those pices of garbage originally because it was cheaper than a slingbox. I gave up on it aafter the third one broke in six weeks. Hava has some of the absolute wort CS I have ever dealt with & the equipment is junk.

At that point, I bought a SlingBox & have never had one single problem with it. I watched HBO in my truck last week while driving on a six hour roadtrip & it worked perfectly the entire way.
