[Tfug] Does anybody know about using the Slingbox (or similar?) under Linux?

[Jeffry Johnston]

Hi,

I had a conversation with a guy just yesterday who brought up the
Slingbox as one of the reasons he doesn't run Linux as his primary OS.
 Not saying that's accurate.. just passing on what I heard :)  The
device sounds cool, though.
