I came across this device by Sling Media. Its called "Slingbox". SlingBox is device that you connect your cable/satellite and your internet connection, and it streams the signal to your computer or mobile phone. So technically, you can watch your favorite TV show to your computer anytime, anywhere and its live!
What do you need?
1) Broadband cable or DSL high-speed Internet connection (Minimum Upstream Network Speed of 256 kbps);
2) Home Network Router;
3) If your TV cable connection is located in a different place than your Internet connection, you will also need a SlingLink or Ethernet bridge, which brings network connectivity to any electrical outlet;
4) Windows or Mac based PC and/or a Windows Mobile or Palm OS Powered PDA or phone with a 3G Data Connection or WiFi for your remote TV viewing.
What solution can it provide you? Well, for example, I can setup my slingbox in Japan, then if I'm abroad I can watch my favorite show live as it is broadcasted live. Another advantage of Slingbox is that, it has no monthly fee.
So, if you are subscribing to some cable company like TFC (The Filipino Channel), you can save a lot of money if you use Slingbox, that is assuming that you have internet connection and computer.
