Yes guys the headline is right. I now have comcast digital cable in my apartment here in Trinidad. This is possible using these boxes.

Slingbox

I am getting a feed off of one of my dad's cable boxes from Florida and i'm using the sling catcher to watch the video and project it on my TV. I have a 6mbit connection on this end and there is also a 6mbit connection on my dad's side with 1 mb upload. It is fully fuctional and i have total control of the cable box in Miami. I would have gotten Dish Network but his apartment does not have a view of the southern sky in Florida. The best thing is NO MORE SPANISH CRAP!!

I get a pretty decent picture and surround sound on my 40" lcd.

Seems like alot of trouble but I like to watch tv and finally have some decent cable tv with on demand so i can watch what i want when i want it. No more trying to download HBO series and stuff of the like.

If you need more info feel free to PM me.

Just wanted to say this works the other way too. Right now I can watch TV6, CNMG, WinTV, Synergy, NCC, Gayelle, etc streaming from my Flow connection back in Trinidad. The 6/1 package works great for that.

The only thing iffy is the Mac software. It works, sure, but you can't rewind/pause like you can with the new version of the Windows software. Plus there are some delays in the controls (it takes a while between a button press and it 'registering' on screen).
