hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how i can watch the rangers at my school. The basic cable i have at my apartment used to have msg but they got rid of it a few years ago, so center ice and gamecenter blacks out all rangers games. I dont really want to spend 50$ a month for direct tv and don't want to watch choppy streams. Someone recommended the slingbox, does anyone know anything about it? or any other suggestions?

The slingbox is a great method if you have a good internet connection.
I have a slingbox, but the internet connection in my apartment up in Buffalo is crap. I put up with it sophomore year (freshman year it wasn't a problem in the dorms because that internet was insane) but junior year and now senior year I will be buying center ice again.
In your situation if you have a good internet feed and can hook the slingbox up at your parents house or a friends house with MSG HD then I'd say that's your best bet.

thank you, i have high speed internet with ethernet if need be. So i can hook up the slingbox at my parents house (it has msg hd) and it will come in at my apartment?

Yes sir. As long as they tune into the game, you'll get a great quality feed.
can someone please explain to me what a "slingbox" is?
Now I dont have the problem of watching rangers games as I have IO cable and I also have the capabilities to record the game, but does a "slingbox" do other things?
Where would one get one from and how much do they run?

I am sorry. I am not a techie really
A slingbox lets you watch TV over the internet on a remote computer (or a local computer, but that wouldn't make much sense considering you could watch it on the TV. )
You hook it up to your cable box and run an Ethernet cable into your router (It has no Wi-Fi from what I know).
Download the free slingplayer software on your computer and configure it using the setup assistant and enjoy.
You can also control your cable with a virtual remote controller built in to the slingplayer software.
I have Slingbox. I was away in vacation in Atlantic City last year, so I tethered my iPhone's internet to my MacBook to watch a couple Ranger games in the hotel room. Good thing I did because one of those games was the one towards the end of the regular season when they came back from being down 3-0. I would have been PISSED if I would have missed that game.
It worked surprisingly well tethered to AT&T's 3G data.

Shhh! Never utter the "t" word!
But seriously, I hear that AT&T is monitoring that stuff now.
