What do Americans do in P@penburg

After one night it is clear a regular night would be very different for me if I lived here in Germany. BBC, CNBC and CNN are the only English channels on the hotel TV. Websites come up in German unless it is a site you have an English account setup on. So what do these 35+ Americans do? Learn to be a nerd and buy a Slingbox. In the simplest terms a Slingbox allows a user to view their television that is in the States anywhere with an internet connection. Either over their laptop or right on their TV. Brent showed me his on-screen BrightHouse remote that allowed him to control his FLORIDA DVR and record and view his BrightHouse Florida TV right in P@penburg. The remote was an exact copy of what my DVR remote looked like. The quality of the picture is quite good . Everyone seems to have a setup that is streaming their video from home back to Germany. People from the UK are wanting american TV. Seems like everyone from VPs to individual contributors use a slingbox. Everyone seems very happy to be here and are figuring out ways to make their time here an experience they will not forget.
