In theory The Slingbox is a good idea, but in practice it's really only going to work if:
-you have a broadband connection with no or very high usage limit
-you have a second home in another country
-have friends, or family who are happy to have a second receiver in the house, using a large part of their upstream bandwidth
-a spare port on a twin or quad Lnb or a spare terrestrial aerial feed.
-a completely reliable broadband connection at the remote and receiving end |
