This is the URL www.channelsurfing.net. Tonight we will watch *The Office* on NBC. In the a.m. we watch a news channel out of Austin,Texas. There are several channels broadcasting. You might want to give it a try....sharon Hi Don Ray, We have been watching some US TV on the computer…..

Thanks for taking the time to comment. What I would like is to have the same Dish system I had when I was in Texas. However, I am reasonably satisfied with my cable. I have too many things to do to watch too much TV. Hi Wendy. Thanks for taking the time to comment. What I would like is to have the same Dish system I had when I was in Texas.

It has to be sent from someone in the U.S. who has, preferably, a satellite set up with TIVO. There is one fellow in Boquete who has a Slingbox and says his reception is not all that great, but is offset by the fact that he can get his local football and baseball games in English when they are played.

The box has to connect to your current cable, satallite provider and it makes what is received available to you somewhere else on the Internet. Therefore to get US stations, it appers to me that you would have to connect the box to a friends house in the states and use their bandwidth to transmit it to you here in Panama. I may have missed something, but I don't see it as an option for me. I read the manual and it doesn’t look like an option to me.

It allows you to look at your local USA cable programs here in Panama. I met a fella from Wisconsin at Albrook. He was flying to the Pearle Islands. He said he could look at any of his 100+Wisconsin channels on his laptop computer. He said the Sling Box is available at Best Buy. Cost about $250. The website is at http://www.slingmedia.com. It would be great if the TV programs could be transferred from the computer to a regular TV. About TV…There is another option called Sling Box.

Thanks for the reminder. A smile and a thank you go a long way and the return is priceless. You are a great example my friend. Patience, courtesy and a smile are usually contageous when applied.
