...torrid pace for a new technology,'' he says. It's helped that critics have raved about his gizmo. "Once you have it, you'll wonder why everyone else doesn't," gushed msnbc in March. True, the setup can be tricky - users have to tie the device into an Internet router as well as into a TV set-top box, and they have to download software. And Slingbox makes the rights to programming trickier still. Paul Whitehead, head of business development for British commercial TV network Channel 4, notes that when the network acquires rights to air a program such...
...CoolPix P2 is that it lacks the range and battery life to effectively carry out its missions. Over the Labor Day weekend, I walked around the inside and outside of the house with the camera, for the most part getting a reasonable connection to our Wi-Fi network (a router located in my home office). But when I took the P2 and laptop out to the deck to create a live slideshow there, the camera had an awful time.

The best way to connect a Slingbox to your router (besides plugging it in directly) is via a powerline Ethernet bridge, like the Netgear XE102 ($60 each). You actually need two-one to connect to the Slingbox in your TV room, and another to pick up the signal in the room where your router is. The setup...
