I have a SlingBox which is awesome. I can wacth my cable TV from anywhere including my DVR shows. , You hook it up to your stb, then your wireless internet.

I got an amazon gift card and got SlingBox for around $250. Then downloaded the player on all my laptops and computers for free.

The player to download for your computer/laptop is free but the Android app cost a one time cost of $30. To me it' was worth it.

All I really had to pay was $30 since I had an amazon gift card.
