Slingbox is a venture backed start-up that developed a box that allows you to watch your TV or TIVO from anywhere in the world (assuming you have a high speed internet connection). I blogged about the device on a few occasions in another blog about venture investing in Texas here, here and here.

Anyway, to make a long story short I bought the Slingbox and tried to install it (and it did not work). At the end of the day it is likely that I have some sort of network issue, but I decided to update my blog here and let everyone know I was having troubles.

So within an hour Blake, the CEO and co-founder of Sling Media added a comment to my blog that can be found here. This is exactly what all CEOs need to be doing :: LISTENING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. Weblogs work in two directions.
