Another option is to install a TV card in your home PC, feed it your cable TV feed, then use a remote desktop app from work to get into you home PC.
Getting the two PCs (home and work) on the same network would be the only "difficult" part. It would require that you leave your home PC on... not sure if that's a big deal to you or not.

I'm thinking of using my parents computer (in Australia) to send me shows (only really wanna watch some sports) here in Japan.jacksonpt said:
Citrix (without videoframe), Terminal Server, and VNC all have pretty crappy refresh rates, especially over limited bandwidth Internet connections with highly variable network conditions.jacksonpt said:
They are unacceptable for video/multimedia usage (audio is doable though).
Setting up a streaming video server would be the only viable option but its probably harder and more complicated than Slingbox for most folks.
That doesn't even include the network security aspect to setting up either homemade solution.
I think VB parents would have to be IT professionals to pull it off for him
