Build a DIY Slingbox

Blogger David Glover built a DIY Slingbox out of the Mac mini under his television, a DV camera, and the freeware QuickTime Broadcaster application. What's it do? In a nutshell, David can stream live TV to any computer in his house. The setup is a bit of a to-do, but when it's all said and done, the quality is actually better than a Slingbox. Then again, if you don't have all that gear but you do have a Windows PC with Windows Media Center and a $60 TV tuner card, you can pull off similar functionality by turning your PC into a media center powerhouse and setting up WebGuide.
