Slingbox for the UK
TV abroad just ain’t the same. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to tune
into to your favourite TV programmes no matter where you are in the world?
That’s the promise of Slingbox, a device launched in the US last year and now,
thankfully, due for launch in the UK in early summer. There is now a PAL
version of the device, the company said this week, and following trials a UK
version of the device could be here in Q2. The Slingbox introduces the concept
of ‘place-shifting’. 
Hook it up to your cable box or satellite receiver, as
well as your broadband connection, and the Slingbox will redirect the signal
via the Internet to whatever PC or laptop you happen to be using. How useful is
that? Price is expected to be about £200.

I have found a site called 'www.uktvabroad.com' which first lets you have a free 24 hour test and then you can sign up for near realtime feeds for ALL ITV channels and also downloading/pay/per/view for Channel 4 & 5 & SKY!
