The slingbox sure looks like the way to go but more expensive than an additional router.
Now if I can connect the TV to the network router with wire, that would work too. Is that what you did? Can you watch TV on your network?

Thanks for the info.

I'm not exactly sure but I don't think this can be done over a network. Slingbox seems to be exactly what you want. Depending on your HD TV reception you may want to look at USB HD TV capture cards.
