What We Think

I knew people that really relied on Slingbox in the past to get content from the countries where they had previously lived ‘slung’ to their current homes. I suspect that these days with VPNs and streaming services, the facility to re-transmit TV is probably not needed. There are bound to be some, of course, that will be unhappy that their boxes will no longer work. (BR)
