Internet Protocol Television. Discuss the streaming of live TV over the internet here, includes the use of Slingbox and other similar technology. Do not request or offer slingbox shares here.
The SB goes at the far end and is connected to your av source. You use a bit of software at your end called Sling Player to view it on your computer. There is supposed to be a bit of add on hardware to allow viewing on a tv at some point.
You need fast broadband at BOTH ends to get the best out of it. Ive tried it with 400kbps upload speed an it works. Just about. But isnt brilliant at that speed, although a test run from Galashiels in Scotland to to Brighton on the south coast of England proved the concept ok.
Agree, you need a good B/band high speed connection for optimum performance; however I have one working ok for two years on the following :
Download :1896Kbps
Upload :243Kbps
Remote viewing location around the same download speed and the quality seems fine as I have used it many times.
