"Get ready for a new device that is going to be the next “must have” digital entertainment device for your home entertainment system. We're not kidding! If everything goes to plan, Sling Media, a San Francisco based start-up, at year end will begin selling the SlingBox Personal Broadcaster (MSRP $199), a device that plugs into a DVR, cable box, satellite receiver, or stereo at home and converts the analog stream into digital bits which can then be sent directly, in real-time, to any network PC or portable device (Laptop, PDA, cellphone, etc.) with a high-speed Internet connection. "

In context of getting any media to any device there is a long and celebrating article about Tivo's Strangeberry project on Business 2.0. Looks like Strangeberry is not so unique after all.
