>>>This is the part that is confusing to me. If you have cable or good antenna reception, what does ORB do?
>>
>>1. Install TV Tuner card into pc.
>>2. Hook up TV cable or antenna to computer.
>>3. Now you can watch TV on your pc.
>>4. Install ORB.
>>5. Now you can transmit the TV signal coming into your pc over the internet.

>>..so lets say you are at the office, and you want to watch TV. You goto https://my.orb.com/orb/ -- enter your username and password... and now you can watch the TV signal thats' connected to your home PC over the internet. This works if you have a PDA device too.

>>Basicly, ORB lets you 'stream' your TV signal over the internet. It does more than that too, if you have videos, movies, pictures, music, etc stored on your PC, you can stream those too.

>Now I understand. You need to have cable and a powerful PC at home, not in the office where you want to watch.


Exactly. And keep in mind this works with PDA's too. For example, I have a SprintPCS PPC6700 PDA/cell phone (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/articles/ppc6700.mspx)..., so I can be standing in line at Walmart and be watching CNN or HBO on it while I'm waiting. Everytime I tinker with it people around me are looking over my sholder and are amazed that such a thing even exists. ...and you don't have to pay for another type of cable or satalite service either...hehehe
