It’s exactly what she can use. I watch my buddy’s TV when I am out of town quite frequently.
You hook the box to your cable box, dangle the remote control dohickey around front, connect to your home internet and voila!
You have a password and login setup so you can log in remotely to your TV. Only one user is allowed at a time, so you can’t “broadcast” your TV all over the place.
Works well with good bandwidth, at a college should not be a problem. Regular TV can usually be watched full screen on your computer (with a good connection). Fast-changing stuff like hockey, you may need to watch in a smaller box to avoid pixelation.
i will have to find out how that works exactly. i think her computer has something built into it to facilitate tv watching, if i recall correctly. i have emailed xshub’s IT guy about it, bc he went with xshub to get her computer and i recall him mentioning that capability. she hasn’t had tv access at school. cheap room mates who don’t want to pay for cable, though the one had a tv which they used to watch dvds on last year. i’d like her to be able to keep abreast of current events etc. without the expense of buying a tv and hooking up cable etc. i thought this was a way you had mentioned in the past. thanks.
