I use Slingbox both on my laptop,, and purchased the app for my IPad...I have the connector cables that allow me to watch the content from my IPad on any TV with an HDMI cable... It is only as good as your signal , weather its public wifi , or your own bandwidth.. I use it everywhere I have signal .. As a matter of fact , I am in the office right now and watching GMA on my desktop with slingbox . . you have unlimited DATA so you can watch the HD version,,, when I am on my mifi jetpack , I watch regular to save data
