plenzmd1 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Me being the generous and unselfish type, I am going to repeat an offer I made in the spring and no one took me up on it. This offer was spurred by a thread on TSW about being forced to switch cable providers and the new provider not having NFL network. If anybody has this issue, or wants to get the Bills or Sabres games with out paying for the package, all they have to do is buy a slingbox and I'll host it in my attic. My kids are up there maybe a total of 2 hrs a week, and even if there it really doesn't matter. I have a D* TIVO up there, get the Ticket and Center Ice and HBO. I am fairly certain you can control the tivo form your computer , so you can record anything ya want(cept porn, well come to think of it now i could blame the porn on someone else...hmm...not bad)) and watch whenever ya want. Let me tell ya, once you watch a recorded NFL game, hard to watch one live agagin, Only restriction is Bills and Sabres MUST be recorded on that TV, as sometimes I forced to watch up there. Other than that, you control it AFAIC. Of course, the NFL cahnnel on there as well. Should mention that is the only TV that is standard def, so no Hi-Def there, only strandard. Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 First off... SOP question: Are you a cop? Is this legal? 730259[/snapback] Cmom bro, sounds like you been with a working girl or two Yea, 100% legal. Crimminy, they sell the slingbox in Circuit City for $200 . I am just surprised with all the bitching that goes on on this site bout either' can't get D*, too expensive for the sunday ticket, too expensive for the center ice, no nfl network on TW, etc, no one wants to do anything bout it. I mean heres a chance to watch all Bills games, all sabres games, the NFL network, HBO and anything else ya dam well please for a one time fee of $200. And the box will be yours, not mine. Plus if your tV has an RGB input, you can watch on your tV. If ya travel often, as I do, you can watch on your PC. How friggen cool is that My guess is all the people bitchin bout this stuff jsut like to B word instead of looking for solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hate to be the usual part pooper: 730425[/snapback] Well actually, he said that you have to buy the Slingbox, and it's your Slingbox, so he's not sharing his accounts with other people, he's just using his house to host the box... So I think ti's still legit. But remember, IANAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have Slingbox and I don't know if they make you tie your home address to the physical location of the box (kind of like the TOS for DISH & DTV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
