So what everyone is saying, I should be able to stream "all" my Charter stations through my iPad and Roku at the lake ? Do I have this correct?

I went out to the Sligbox website, but didn't find a lot of information ?
Looks like the basic Sligbox M1 is priced at $199.

Your feedback i s greatly appreciated !

All the info you need is on their site. If you want to go slingbox buy the latest box which is the 500. HD capable. It connects to your home cable and you can watch TV just like at home including all your DVR'd programs. Use the app on your iPhone or iPad. I have a cable from Apple that allows me to connect my iPad to an HDTV and I can watch my home cable in Maine.
