Is Slingbox reliable?

[wjb]

I live in Hampton Roads, VA and follow the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens. I am looking for low cost alternatives to MLB and NFL subscriptions. I am thinking about installing a Slingbox at a house in Baltimore to capture the local broadcasts. My question is whether the device is reliable enough that I won't be regularly experiencing problems and glitches. I live 5 hours away and don't want to impose on my host.

The only Slingbox that has a built in ova tuner is this discontinued one.

You would need to add a tuner to any other model.
