I was just going through my tivo here and realized that I may be missing out on this modern day miracle once I settle in there.

So, how do those of you that are homebodies like me cope with the lack of good non-censored American TV in Dubai? Does anyone have a slingbox set up in the states and if so how well does it work? Are there other ways of getting major shows like Lost, Heros, Big Brother, House etc without paying an arm and a leg for it? And what about college football...any way to catch the games on Saturday or do I HAVE to learn to watch soccer...err football?

I really don't imagine I will mind the weather or the other little annoyances of day to day life there but I sure am going to miss my tv!

On a side note I am about a month from moving there and this is about the biggest concern I have....is that bad?

Go to xtvi dot com. You'll need to install some software but it won't take long to get it running. You can download American TV about a day after it airs.

Dude, thanks Vince!
The site is great.

Instead of sleeping last night, I caught up on Entourage and Californication.

You're welcome. If you get a notice threatening prosecution, you didn't hear about it from me. Can't really tell whether the site is legal or not.
