TV that follows you around the world

A gadget that allows holidaymakers and travellers to watch live British television anywhere in the world has been launched in Britain.

The Slingbox plugs into a terrestrial, cable or satellite set-top box and redirects the signal over the internet. The signal can then be picked up and watched on a laptop or personal computer connected to the internet with a broadband link.

Slingbox is available in Britain this week for £180. The set-top box can be controlled remotely, allowing the owner to change channels from thousands of miles away.
