Thanks for all the input.
I went to Best Buy yesterday and bought the Sling Box solo. $179. Sling box Pro was about $280 and the only advantage I saw was the HD option. Didn't need to buy the Slingbox link, because my tv and router are next to each other, but if I was going to set it up downstairs I would have had to purchase there router.
Set up only took about 30 min and it worked great.
Do you guys recommend buying a travel router so you don't have to have your laptop connected to the lan at the desk?
Now keep my finger crossed while I am in DEL on that 48 hr layover...
