It never fails: The one day you’re asked to work late at the office, there’s a big game on TV. Well the boss doesn’t work late, so he won’t be there to see you catching every second of the contest with Slingbox. Nothing gets done while “working” late anyway, right?

College football games aren’t the only awesome sports on Saturdays that get ruined by the honey-do list, but they’re the most important. Your alma mater or favorite team has the early game and your wife threatens to leave if you don’t clean out the garage…now. Luckily for you, the game can go to the garage with you with Slingbox.

The weekend is finally here and it’s a beautiful day outside. This is your only time to fire up the grill! But the game is on…inside. Never fear: Put on that Superman apron and get out there and burn some meat while watching the game with Slingbox.

You love your kid, but going on a school field trip with him/her can be painful, especially if it's during the game. Well instead of sitting like a bump on a log while the kids "study" rocks, you can watch the game live with your Slingbox.

What is it about kid’s sporting events that takes so long? You’re there, they compete for a few seconds; you’re there, they wait hours to compete again. Don’t waste that time by stuffing yourself with crapy concession stand food! Watch the game on Slingbox!

You’ve worked all week at the cube farm with all computer screens and no sunlight; the last thing you want to do is the same thing over the weekend, especially if it’s a beautiful Saturday outside. Slingbox will allow you to set up shop anywhere in your yard, on your deck, by your pool or anywhere you like and never miss a minute of your favorite MLB’s day game and still enjoy the great weather.

It never fails: you get a business trip planned right in the middle of Monday Night Football, but have no fear! You can watch the game and/or make sure it’s recorded with Slingbox so you don’t miss that last-minute touchdown drive by Cam Newton that salvaged every working man’s Monday last season.

Doesn’t your kid’s soccer coach know the playoffs are going on? Yet there you are: stuck watching the kindergartners who care more about eating grass than learning how to kicker a corner. Meanwhile, you’re missing Kevin Durant’s epic four-point play to rally the Thunder to beat the Grizzlies and win the series…unless you have Slingbox.

Everyone has been invited to watch the game at the bar. Sometimes, the problem is that game isn’t your game. You’re stuck watching a game you care nothing about until you get a Slingbox. While the other guys are whiffing high fives, you’re watching your team kick butt, regardless of which crappy bar you get dragged to.
