Default Still a Snowbird..

As the title indcates, I still go back and forth to Yankee / Giant land.

When we first moved to FL 10 years ago, my wife found out about a product called Slingbox.

Slingbox is connected to my cable connector in CT via a splitter and has a LAN cable to my home network router.

Software on my PC here allows me to watch any program on my PC, that is on my cable up north. All Yankee games on YES, Francessa, channel 9, local CT news, etc. It has a software remote on the screen that I user to change channels just as if I was in my living room there.

I get all Giant games via the box also, all thru the internet at a low cost.

It has been a godsend, thanks to my loving wife who looks after my happiness!

It is a good solution for people who have a home there or have family with a home network they can use for connection.
