Billed as “SlingBox” without the box, Orb is a new software solution that allows you to access your stored TV programs and view them remotely on your PC while traveling or at the office, or wherever.

I am not a fan of software only solutions, and in fact have been trying to buy a SlingBox all week (they are sold out in town), but this is an interesting concept I will definitely test. And it’s FREE.

“Orb is a free software-based place-shifting service that lets you access your media from anywhere over the internet. Orb runs on computers with Windows XP or XP Media Center and provides streaming access to the audio and video on the computer. It also can stream live TV if you have a tuner attached to your computer, and it provides TV listings and scheduled recordings.”
