Veebeam Brings PC to TV

The wireless Veebeam is simple to set up. Plug one end into your TV, the other into your PC's USB port and you get the same image on your HDTV (provided that your television has it.) Choose between the default Screencasting mode to share with friends and family or Video Play-To mode for streaming while you multi-task by checking your email or surfing online. There is a less expensive model for those without HDTV.

Freakin' Friday! Netgear Wireless USB Adapter

The 3.72 x 0.6 x 1.19" mini-device is almost effortless when it comes to installing with accompanying software. It is both backwards and forward compatible with 802.11b and supports 128-bit WEP.

Sling Media SlingLink Ethernet Connection Bridge

Instead of an Airport Express you can now get a Slinglink to get your Slingbox hooked up right at the TV source. If you're like most people, you don't have an ethernet jack right next to your television. Rather than running long wires all around your house, or having an expensive technician re-wire your home, you can just purchase a pair of SlingLink adapters.

Like an extension cord for the Internet, the SlingLink uses your home's existing electrical wiring to transmit the ethernet signal from your router. Plug one SlingLink into the wall near your router, and plug in the other SlingLink wherever you have your Slingbox installed. Voila--your Slingbox is connected to the Internet! Best of all, the SlingLink does not impact the performance of your network. It simply placeshifts your home's Internet connection from your office to another household room via your electrical wiring. Now wherever you have a wall socket, you can have the same broadband connection - without installing any new wires or outlets.

SlingLink Features:

• Least expensive way to connect your Slingbox to your router without wires
• Optimized for use with the Slingbox
• Simple one-step installation
• High speed, supporting up to 14Mbps connection
