Well obviously you have to buy something - remind me how much that Slingbox thing is again? $200? $300? And you can't play games on it either. Oh, and it doesn't have a video service. Or unlimited music. Or local media streaming. All it does is sling. So yeah, not really a good deal after all.zzm9980 wrote:Part of the problem with Microsoft is the cost. Your Xbox One is at least $350 USD (And that's recent Black Friday sale prices) and the TV Tuner another $50. I assume you'll need a Windows tablet to run that Xbox SmartGlass software. That's at least another $500+.
All of this for an ecosystem most people (obviously you the exception) find to be substandard compared to Google or Apple's.

Are you proposing an Apple/Google free solution that streams TV to a remote device? Nah, didn't think so. You're just bashing MS because you don't have a solution to offer![]()
