Sling Media is out to do for physical location what TiVo did for time. That is, make it irrelevant. With a TiVo, you can record TV material and watch it whenever you want. With a Sling, you can watch your material anywhere you want. You buy a little Sling box and put it in your home, connect it to video sources and a computer, and now you can watch your TV anywhere in the world you can find a broadband connection. And you can watch from any device in your home, even without a broadband connection. (You need a home network.) Pretty cool, huh?

And the neat part is that those clever Sling people are thinking about adding HD support.

The one catch is that it only works with analog sources. All that pesky copy protection stuff hits again. Sheesh, when can we do what we want with content we’ve legally purchased?
