No home is complete sans a 90-inch HDTV, or a surround sound system with both excellent electronics and speakers, or a way to more easily talk on an iPhone, and no home office is complete sans a new speedy 802.11 AC router, or a router designed for streaming media or copious hard PC file storage.
Ever heard of Slingbox? It's a device you connect to your cable box to access, control and view content - both live and DVR'd - from wherever you have an Internet connection, on your phone, tablet or laptop. In mid-July, Belkin will give Slingbox some competition with its @TV, which will supply the same Slingbox cable box access, control and view, but is just $180 (vs. $300 for the comparable Slingbox Pro-HD). Not only is the @TV box cheaper, the @TV iOS or Android tablet app is free and the smartphone app is just $12 as opposed to $30 for either the smartphone or tablet Slingbox app.
