The Slingbox And The NHL
Ted Leonsis just bought a Slingbox for his son to use at school, and he's pretty juiced about it:
He will now be able to watch all Caps and Wizards games on Comcast as he matriculates at UPenn. This is an amazing device and service. It is cheap, efficient and delivers a high "wow" factor.
As many of you might recall, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has a Slingbox all his own, one that allows him to watch games from all across the league on his Motorola Q.
Meanwhile, Leonsis is also doing his best to put fannies in the seats at Verizon. Which reminds me, it's time for me to become a customer again. Is there anybody out there who's up for splitting a partial game plan this season?

Slingbox is pretty good, i tried one out last year during the playoffs for a couple Sens games when I was in Carolina and it worked out fairly well for a bit but eventually I got sick of the poor hotel internet connection and found a sports bar.
Orb.com is a pretty good free service that does the same thing and works almost as well - depending on the power/config of your PC.
