So you like the idea of the Slingbox but don’t want to shell out the dough? A company called Orb is your new hero. They have created software that gives you the same functionality as the Slingbox for free, forever.

"The software lets you transmit your TV, audio, photo galleries and video from a base PC to any device which has a web browser (and an Internet connection)."

It works simply;  install the software on your computer, specify what type of media can be transmitted from it, and then connect up to the Orb site from any mobile device to view your content.  Orb does not work with all devices, but they provide a list of those that do work for your convenience.
