Hi Shinichi, The best thing to do to get more information is to contact the services offering Slingbox rentals. Here are links to “Watch Japanese TV” and NihonNamaTerebi. Good luck! By the way, I see that you have linked your comment to the TV show Aibou. I love that show.

I like to know more about this box and I don’t have any friend in Japan but I just can wait to watch or record the TV show (time is odd time TV show i like to watch). I watch key hole tv but 90% of the time it won’t work and can not record.

Hi Tinchen, Yes, renting a Slingbox cost money. The service I mention runs about 7,000 yen a month which is definitely not cheap but if you consider that you are getting nearly the same thing as a person living in Japan and have it available 24/7, I think it is a good deal. In my case, I consider it an educational expense. If you are looking for something free, there is always Keyhole TV which I write about here.

Well I have one question… does it cost something? Because I hate it always if it cost.
