Do you use SlingBox and would you recommend it?

So even though I’ve known of the name for a while, I didn’t look into what it really was until yesterday. Slingbox for those who don’t know allows you to watch your tv wherever you are as long as you have a device (laptop/cellphone etc) w/ an internet connection. I would probably get the SOLO version.

Since I’ll be moving to a single bedroom apt this upcoming year, I am hoping to keep the bills to a minimum. In addition, I’m not a big TV watcher. So what if I purchased a Slingbox and hooked it up to my parent’s cable and router? That’s essentially free cable for me!

I’m looking for experiences of people that have used or use this device. Amazon customer reviews seem to be for it, but I like to know the community opinion :)
