How To Watch Your TV AnywhereDon't feel like paying $1.99 per show on iTunes? There's a better option.By Mark Spoonauer December 11, 2006 
 There are plenty of ways to enjoy TV on your laptop, but if you want to be able to watch live TV and your DVR recordings anywhere, pick up the Slingbox AV. After investing in this tiny, $179 set-top box, you'll be able to catch all of your favorite shows and premium movie channels right on your notebook's screen, no monthly fee required. All you need is a wireless router at home and a broadband connection on the road, whether it's Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or a 3G cellular modem. (For $29.99, SlingPlayer Mobile software lets you tap into your TV feed right from a Windows Mobile smart phone.)
With the SlingPlayer software loaded on your laptop, you get an exact replica of your home remote control, so you can change channels from across the country. If you have a TiVo or another DVR, you can fire up last night's episode of Heroes and even fast-forward through commercials remotely. If being the ultimate mobile couch potato sounds enticing to you, here's how it's done.
