Advantages: It allows me beam my cable tv from the ROI to a friend in Texas. Disadvantages: I can't come up with any of these apart from the fact that the US version is much cheaper.
I ordered a SlingboxSoloSB260-110 on a Friday & had it delivered to my home in the Republic of Ireland by the following Tuesday. Fantastic delivery. The price [including delivery] beat anything available in local stores or on the web. I couldn't recommend Digital Fusion more highly!
The SlingboxSoloSB260-110 allows me beam my cable tv from the ROI to a friend in Texas. This is something that we have talked about doing for years, so that he can watch Irish TV/Premiership Soccer/Gaelic Football from the US.
We also found an iPhone app written by Slingbox that allows the signal from the SlingboxSoloSB260-110 to be sent to his phone. It has proved to be a great hit in his local Texan watering-hole. I highly recommend the SlingboxSoloSB260-110. ...
Advantages: Can't get into debt, lots of shops take it, from 11 with some banks, Disadvantages: Woolies don't take it!

Advantages: Almost universally accepted, makes you more financially aware Disadvantages: Can't write cheques, not a lot really!
Ah, the sweet smell of financial independence! When I?m older, I?m going to be an internet millionaire; I?ve decided that. Joining Ciao was to be part of the grand plan, but alas .. ah well, I still have my Solo card.
?What? You?re fifteen and you have your own credit card? Now I know you?re entrepreneurial Matt, but this..?
Well, almost. You see, Solo shares many of the features of other debit cards such as Switch. The differences are that it?s been adapted for people who may not be eligible for a 'proper' credit card. Typically these groups are the under-18s, those not in employment, and those whose credit history doesn't merit a credit card in the opinion of the banks.
