additional interesting slingbox item i have heard. So As a Tampa resident, if i want to see the Bucs this season i pretty much would have to but a ticket because they will be blacked out on TV in a 75 mile radius. IF i were to get a slingbox, go to Ed's or Shag's house, set it up there (outside the 75 mile radius) i could watch the Bucs and avoid the blackout....
