check channelsurfing.net. They had today's game and generally most games. I'll be checking back there for some away games this fall

How does a slingbox work?

It takes the signal coming through the cable and routes it to a hosted IP address. I don't think they have tuners, so you have to have it in between a cable box and your TV.

Some of them have tuners. If you have cable, you can just plug it into a cable jack and one into an ethernet jack and that's all you need.

There are also slingboxes that plug into tuners (HD or satellite or whatever) that can take that signal and stream it as well.

I'd let someone use mine, but it's not working at the moment and I don't know what's up with that.
