SlingMedia's SlingBox SB150-120

Advantages: "Free" TV from the other side of the world... where-ever you are!
Disadvantages: Really none I can think of that concern the device itself

This review is actually based on my use of the Japanese version of this product, SlingMedia's Sling Box SB150-120. The UK model is the SB150-110, and as far as I have been able to establish (from friends actually using it on my advice), the UK model differs from the Japanese model only in respect of the TV Tuner. The UK Model * I am told * features a TV Tuner that is DVB/FreeView capable (which would not work in Japan anyway) and is of course based on the PAL TV system (whereas Japan's model uses NTSC like America). The device itself is smaller than you may expect, and most definitely ugly, but you can't really hold that against it, particularly when there is no reason why it has to be on view (there are no IR remote sensors on the front, for example). It comes with all the cables, software, and instructions you will require ...

SlingMedia Sling Catcher from Digital-Fusion.co.uk

Advantages: Good communication and a prompt well packaged delivery.
Disadvantages: None at all with this transaction.

My Sling Media Sling Catcher arrived within 48 hours of placing the order (which when you consider that I ordered it over a weekend is pretty swift delivery!). It was well packaged, and Digital-Fusion.co.uk kept me informed from placement of the order to dispatch of the package using City Link. You really can't ask for more than that. I'd definitely recommend Digital-Fusion.co.uk to others, and will purchase from them again in the future. I have my Sling Media Catcher connected to a TV in a property abroad, with the Sling Box Pro HD hooked up to my SKY HD box in my UK property. It works a treat, and with surprisingly good quality. HD channels don't suffer too badly, for being streamed through the internet, and not having to watch TV on your laptop is a huge boost. The Sling Catcher works as you'd expect your SKY box to work in the UK ...

Multi-Media Journalism at Bournemouth University

Advantages: Best reputation for a journalism course in the UK
Disadvantages: Not for the faint hearted - it's hard work!

, and these are now in my portfolio too. From speaking to friends at university who did attend the activity days, they were required to do a number of tasks, such as recording a radio broadcast, taking part in television workshops, and writing articles. The Multi-Media Journalism course itself With technology ever-changing, and at this time ever-faster, we need to familiarise ourselves with operating in a multi-media environment. The course aims to educate students as to how to become not only a brilliant print journalist, but also how to write for radio, create TV news broadcasts, and to write for on-line news outlets. The Multi-Media Journalism course at Bournemouth University is the only course to be accredited by the three journalism training councils. These are: the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC), the National ...
