Forget Tivo, the newest craze surrounding DVR is the a sleek chocolate colored box called the Slingbox.

Created in 2004, but growing in popularity now, Slingbox is intended to empower experiences for the digital media customer with the goal of enhancing, not replacing existing products by expanding their horizons with new and improved software and hardware that is compatible with existing technologies.

How many of you have experienced that “Oh, no” moment when you realize that you missing favorite tv show? I know you’re not addicted to your TV set, but there are bound to be a few choice shows that you hate to miss, and it’s never fun cutting your plans short so you can get home to catch the last few minutes of some program.

Well, this sleek gizmo will change all of that, and you can now enjoy watching your favorite shows anywhere at anytime.

The Slingbox connects your your cable box, DVR, or your satellite receiver. There is no monthly fee or extra charges once you purchase the box which starts at $129.99.

With this technology you will be able to watch and control your favorite TV source and shows from absolutely anywhere. You don’t even have to be near a TV. You can use the box to catch shows on both your laptop or Blackberry.

The only question this leaves me with is: Where was this when I had all of those boring lectures? While I don’t recommend watching your favorite show in the back of History 402, I do recommend checking out http://www.slingmedia.com and putting your mind to rest when that you’ll never have to miss you favorite shows again. Who says you can’t have it all? :-)
