TV junkies rejoice. You can now leave the confines of home without ever missing an episode of your favorite TV. Not that a DVR

TV junkies, rejoice. You can now leave the confines of home — or country — without ever missing an episode of Glee. If you have a Slingbox installed at home, the SlingPlayer Mobile app lets you watch live TV, or whatever you've got saved on your DVR, on your iPhone, as long as you're connected to a wireless network.
