I've got a great case study I'm gonna write up and PDF soon. My brother-in-law was a yankee fan. They decided to church plant in Prague - yep, czech...
He bought an extra receiver for my dad's directv, plugged it into a slingbox, plugged it into dad's wireless connection (trango 900 - 22 miles from my tower, then 12 from there to my noc) and watches yankee games on the Yes network from prague through my network :) works awesome - because of the time difference, I sometimes pull up DirecTV on my laptop during the day through the sling player. Uses about 120k right now on a constant stream to get good quality tv.
