Boom! Ordered. Ordered one for my pops too, just because I’m a kickass son. Hopefully one day my future children will buy me cool electronic toys haha. This should be perfect for him, he uses his slingbox a ton when traveling and at his townhouse in PA (vacation spot). ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Ordered yesterday they shipped already should have them by Saturday :tup: Mine shipped today! Now the question is…what do i cast first. Maybe some nice pron? lol This will be perfect for me, i don’t have cable and usually do most of my media via XBMC (on the Raspberry pi), but I do have a slingbox attached to my Dad’s FiOS downstate. Due to slingboxes encryption I could never get it to work with XBMC, this will be great! Super pumped. Plus i already use my Gs4 and Nexus 7 as remotes anyway lol ---
