I was just reading this article about how HBO is upset with the Slingbox. Now, the Slingbox is a great gadget. Just plug your TV output into it and you can watch your TV feed from anywhere on the internet through your DSL connection. I am struggling to see what the problem is with that concept. They say they are worried about their programs being copied during the process of “rebroadcast” over the internet. Let’s go with that idea then(even though Slingbox doesn’t even do that). Ok, I will stop using the Slingbox and start using a TV capture card in my PC with Windows Media Encoder. Or maybe I’ll use MythTV, or Tivo2Go. Or my freakin’ VCR. All four of those options are perfectly 100% legal and they are made for recording. Was HBO just formed yesterday or something. Don’t they know that recording television shows is about as illegal as popping popcorn.
