Submission + - Finally: Personalized Internet TV over Your Mac

Egadfly writes: "The Slingbox has arrived for the Mac world. Some long delays during development now seem over. Sling Media has finally released version 1.0 of their software for Mac OSX. This means that, after buying and installing the Slingbox, Mac users can "sling" their home cable and satellite signals to themselves at the airport, or in a café hotspot, or over their office computers. This article on SlingCommunity.com gives the details of the software's development — from last year's much-discussed beta to today's v1.0. Screenshots show how a standard-looking "TV remote," displayed onscreen, allows the Mac users to change channels or browse Tivo recordings over the Internet, many miles from their living rooms. Personalized TV now comes over the MacBook remotely anywhere in the world."
