You can also hook it up to DVD players/recorders and other devices. Basically anything with a scart socket and view what that is showing as well. IIRC you can connect up to three devices at the same time and flick between them as you like.

Originally posted by PondlifeCan you watch all cable channels or just the one it's currently tuned to?
i.e. can you control the cable box with it?

Slingboxes aren't bad, bittorrent is the traveller's friend though. Get a series downloaded, load your laptop over the weekend and repeat.

Originally posted by Euro-commuterIt depends on what TV you want, but:
1. if you can't get Sky, look at the best local cable or satellite option, from your point of view. "Local" might mean Danish (or possibly even Dutch) even though you're in Norway. You may get BBC World, BBC Prime for old series etc, and poss a local channel or 2 with English-language programmes sometimes. You'll get used to not reading the sub titles.
2. Buy DVDs of films and series, when they come out. If you're not going down the (UK) pub and discussing last night's TV, you don't need it while it's current.
If you need more, Slingbox looks like what I dreamed of at one time.
