Well, the reason I mention the computer-room-no-cable-outlet issue is just to stamp out the option of using certain desktop software, like Orb. It would be pointless for me to use a TV tuner card if I have no TV line running to the room where my computer is housed. Yes, Sony's LocationFree player does not require this, I just thought I'd throw it out there before anyone tried to use the Orb argument against Sling. I love Orb btw, but watching video on it is a pain if you ever need to pause a show. It takes like 15 minutes for it to restart again even on the fastest network connections.
