Thread: Slingbox - Family Woodworking

Darren i am thinking why dont you get a small smart tv that has wifi built in and facilitates the DLNA sharing system. I just upgraded our TV after coming to grips with not being able to lift the old one and bring it into the new home. I had not looked at tvs for some time but have been amazed at what the manufacturers like L.G. have built into their sets. Really a case of technology coming of age inmho.

Would be money well spent in my view because you could do way more with the Tv that way. Will require more dollars in the budget though. Thinking aloud i dont know whether the "smart tv options" are available on the smaller screens so thats something you would need to check.

Does your tv share it's cable programming with other devices?

I'm mostly looking at being able to share our cable and dvr recordings where ever we are. Also would like to stream the NFL games up to the shop since I haven't found a reasonably priced on-line way to watch them live.

I've found a couple of 32" smart tv's in the $200 - $400 range that have the netflix, hulu, web browser, etc. options built in. They would work fine for the on-line streaming, but to stream the cable live or recorded I'd still need a "place shifting" device.

btw...Isn't it amazing how light the "large" tv's have gotten? My 50" plasma probably weighs in around 100 lbs or more, but one of our 60" LED's here at work is only around 30-40 lbs.
