Just wondering. i own a laptop and a desktop computer and would really like to be able to watch tv on them both, laptop without the wire though. now i heard about something called Slingbox off a friend who read something in a news paper. anyways, he told me that it could stream tv, satalite, radio, dvd, video and anything else to my laptop through my home network. he also said that i could use the slingbox to get internet anywhere in the world through my laptop from 10 miles away to half way around the world. i was just wondering if this is true about the internet. as i would love to be able to take my laptop on holiday with me and most times i travel to egypt in a tent with my grandfather while he works. i have looked around the internet but can't seem to find any infomation on this.

Don't know how you looked, but I typed Slingbox in Google and got many hits.

Did you bother to look at any of them? no? well thats why i came here to ask if anyone knew if it did provide internet to my laptop from 10 miles away as i can't find any infomation about this.

I didn't spend more than a minute looking at the hits. I merely responded to the statement i have looked around the internet but can't seem to find any infomation on this.
