Slingbox

Anybody have any experience with a slingbox? I am hoping to set one up for some international servants that are in Korea. (This is to simplify things as I have been sending them downloaded torrents of there favorite shows on discs) They are finally in a country that has fiber everywhere you turnaround.

What I would like to know is the typical bandwidth usage. Is it going to kill me?

If you do have one, do you use it with a Tivo? Is that hard to set up...

Is it possible to share, downloaded files not on the Tivo?

Any info would be appreciated.

its basically just a streaming video server, right? and you can get that feed from the TIVO if you have one, and control the TIVO remotely?

Exactly... That way they can watch whatever they want (Tivo or Live).. with no intervention from me... I can leave that TIvo for them to use in a closet somewhere... sounds doable? No?
