    A trucker for 12 years??
    And you watch TV while driving "down the road at 55mph"?
    You DO know this is illegal, right?
    <Not to mention extremely dangerous!>

    I run team and would like to know more about this slingbox. The wife would love to be able to watch her favorite tv programs again and it would help the time go by faster when she doesnt have to drive.

    If you have a laptop you can go to the channel you want to watch. Say you want to watch prison break. type in fox.com and select the show you want to watch. I watched prison break, and termanator this week online.

    the issue with watching T.V. on line is you would have to download the program (not sure you can do this) or have Web Connection for it to work.

    Now as a solo driver this would work great becuse you can park when ya want to watch your shows for the most part. but as team where the truck dont stop to offten it might be more difficult

    I didnt relise they were allowing you to down load it is why i put the not sure ya can do it in there.

    I know on some that they dont allow it and wont allow you to capture it.

    but if this is the case it would be nice. you can then get a prety good selection on the series for you to recap later if ya want to .
