There are plenty of ways to stream the live television that's available in your home to your smartphone or your laptop wherever you are, whether it's upstairs in another room, or across the globe in a hotel room. Earlier in the week we asked you how you preferred to stream live TV. You responded, we looked at the top five TV streaming options, and now it's time to highlight the winner.

In second place with was 19% of the vote was the Hauppage WinTV tuner and software, and in third was Orb with 14% of the overall vote. The Elgato EyeTV came in fourth with 12% of the votes cast, and bringing up the rear was the Vulkano Flow with just under 6%.
