Slingbox - does anyone have one of these yet?

This basically allows you to access your DVR from your laptop computer. So since my DH will be in NY over Thanksgiving he could watch everything we've taped at home on his laptop. Here are the specs:

Watch TV from your PC!
Tune into your favorite TV programming from virtually anywhere with the Slingbox. Redirects, or "placeshifts," the TV signal from your cable box, satellite receiver or digital video recorder (DVR) to your computer or laptop of choice. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection to view live TV from anywhere in your home. And if you have a broadband connection, you can use the Internet to view your TV stream from anywhere in the world!

I was thinking of getting it for DH for Christmas. Just wondering if anyone else had tried it yet.
