As I write this, I'm watching ST:TNG on my TiVo using my Slingbox. It's in San Francisco, and I'm in a hotel room in Prague, connecting over wireless no less. Amazing product! It's invaluable for frequent travelers.
By the way, I used NetGear's powerline ethernet bridge--same price, possibly even the same chips underneath. I'd definitely recommend a wired connection versus a wireless connection to your home network. You want the best connection possible between the Slingbox and your network to reduce latency on remote operations, and to keep your video streaming smoothly.
