Slingbox.
From the Slingbox website......
"What is the SlingboxTM?
The SlingboxTM Personal Broadcaster is a consumer electronics product that a user connects to their personal TV source (including a TiVo, cable box, analog cable, satellite receiver, or virtually any other AV device) and to their high-speed network/internet connection (including DSL, cable modem, or other solution) for the purpose of "placeshifting the content" - enabling them to view their TV programming on any device. Once connected, the user can watch and control their personal TV experience from virtually any computer, PDA or mobile phone. Your TV. Any Device. Any Location."
Now tell me that isn't freaking cool!? Anything that timeshifts or placeshifts (it seems like those aren't even words for some reason...?) is cool in my book now. TiVo starting the timeshift revolution and now I believe slingbox will start the placeshift revolution. I'm a gadget geek and this thing has me going. Slingbox will be available at BestBuy and CompUSA starting tomorrow (Thursday, June 30th) and will run $249 with no montly fees.

Here is something I REALLY need to look into!
I have to admit, I set up a Vonage account a few weeks ago, not because I really needed it but because I really wanted to see how the consumer market had progressed in this area. The install was a piece of cake. I bought a Linksys RT31P2 router at Staples for $49.00 with the rebate. Set-up was over the vonage website and basically 5-10 minutes later the phone port gets activated and your good to go.
My weak link intially was the phone I used. Forgot that I needed an extra phone and all I had was an old 900 Mhz analog phone. Once I replaced it, the quality was good. Best of all it passed the wife test with ease. Right now it's a second phone, actually I got a phone number in my parents home town so they no longer need to dial long distance. Additional or virtual numbers are $4.99 a month. Now AT&T and the other cable and dsl companies are getting in the act. i think this will take off in the next 2-3 years.
My two cents. RR
VoIP is the killer consumer broadband app, Cisco CTO says. The future of converged services and the design of the Internet itself will be driven more by consumer demands than by the plans of carriers, technologists and equipment vendors, says Charlie Giancarlo, Cisco’s chief technology officer.

Slate: Will the Broadcast Flag Break Your TiVo? Paul Boutin. But never mind the industry gossip. How will the broadcast flag affect your viewing? It'll be an annoyance for some, but it's not the end of the world some tech reporters predicted. Instead, it's more like the Big Four networks' last stand against their competitors. [Tomalak's Realm]
