Mobile Roku development setups

I am getting started on a Roku channel but am often mobile. Any suggestions for a mobile setup that I can use when traveling? Obviously bringing a small tv and a roku with me is not ideal. It would be great if I could feed the hdmi signal to some sort of thunderbolt device and view the video feed on my macbook pro. I have tried the intensity extreme with no luck (can't view but can capture... it was super buggy and a total mess): http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensity/models/

Or is there an emulator that I am completely oblivious about?

Re: Mobile Roku development setups

You might be able to use a SlingBox. At least one of our employees who travels extensively uses one for doing demo's on his laptop using his Roku which is in NYC. I think the only issue he has is the back button doesn't work properly. I'll ping him and see if he can pass on some details.
