A Time of Magic

We’re all used to being able to select from hundreds of channels when we’re at home but when we’re away it’s down to whatever channels are on offer from the local hotel or whatever.

However, these days it doesn’t have to be like that courtesy of a little gadget called a Slingbox. What this does is offer you up all the channels that you normally get at home but on your computer so you can get those channels pretty much anywhere.

This is such a brilliant little item that I’d say there’s a fair chance of the word getting adopted as a description for all such devices but, for now, there’s just the one as far as I know.
