USE YOUR LOCAL CABLE FROM ANYWHERE ON EARTH - GO SLINGBOX
-
Today I was asked a question, "why do I have to pay for Cable 12 months of the year, when I am only resident for six months per year?"
-
OK! the reason is that we have a bulk contract with Comcast at a discount of some 65%, but this is based on 100% participation.
-
However, you may, through a process called "place-shifting" , control and view your local Comcast video from any place on Earth, the device enabling this remote streaming is called a Slingbox:
-
-
This is well worth every seasonal resident looking into, you simply plug the data source into the Slingbox here, and control and view the video from anywhere!
-
This is proven technology, so look into it and then maximize usage of your Comcast programming; and then terminate the Cable service at your remote location.

Although the graphic shows the remote access to the Florida cable box on a laptop and tablet, one may connect an HDMI Cable to either device and plug it into a large screen TV so that the entire gang can view in the remote location, be it on the patio or in a foreign country, e.g. Canada.
ReplyDeleteSlingbox streams in HD, so as long as the Internet connection is decent, results are excellent. Enjoy ALL your Florida programming including premium services that you receive. Check out there "how it works" video at sling.com
I don't ride the buses but pay for them. That is what this community living is all about.
