I keep a slingbox in the city and placeshift all of the Time Warner (Spectrum) channels to the Poconos. No need to be paying two cable bills. Especially with Blue Ridge prices being nearly double what we pay in the city.

Also, I believe that Pix 11 and Fox 5 (sister stations) air most of the news segments on their respective websites.

Sling Box is a service that allows you to receive your home cable signal, which you are already paying for, at a remote location. So if you're on vacation or away on business and you want to watch the Big Game which is available in your home market but not at the hotel, you can still watch. Or as Ughhnyc apparently is saying, he has a place in the city and uses a sling Box to send the signal to the Poconos. Pretty good idea if you want to watch local NYC channels and are already paying for cable in the city.
