Sirant: slingbox is the best choice if you prefer to watch program from States or canada.
Jayinhk: dont forget to tell your brother to find a reliable ISP to connect and set up the slingbox. Roadrunner really sucks in my neighborhood. Since my connection is through time warner cable, i got no choice to stick with roadrunner. from 10 pm est, connection sometimes gets cut off. However, it feels good to catch metro new york news and sports when ESPN HK here offer basically nothing but national televised broadcast in the states.
