queston on Slingchatcher in conjuction with slinbox??help pls

rob70 · 29-06-2009

hi guys,
pls can anyone clear my mind regarding the following as i ll put it as simple as i can:

I understand the slincatcher allows us to watch tv on a televison at a remote location , not necessarely a PC, which is handy;
say,,,, if i set up a slingbox in UK on a home broadband connection, when I travel (to Italy, thats the other country in relation) i will need to take my Slincatcher in my Italy's home and connect it to a TV, right...., but do I also need to have broadband connection in italy in order to watch the slincatcher on a tv in italy??ro it only connect to a tv without the need of internet access?????
I mean do i need internet connection on both points??????
thanks all

Well of course you need a broadband connection at either end otherwise how will the stream reach you, perhaps you had better read this article which will help to galvanise your thoughts.

guys, when i get slingbox connected, do i configure the software on the pc in the same place where the sling box is meant to be sitting and remaining ??
or, do i configure the software on pc only once am in the location concerned outside the uk (my case italy),where i ll be meant to watch on the pc
thanks
also which uk brands does have built in freeview??
also what do u mean by 'remote location', i mean is it the location where the slingbox is meant to stay?? or the other location where I watch on pc??
thanks all

On the pc in italy.

Remote location - the place where you are on holiday (ie away from home)

hi guys,
1)when i configure the sling box software on my pc, does it matter where i do it. i mean say an example;
if i connect the sling box in london uk with a freeview box , can i install the software on the pc directly form London (where my slingbox will stay) or do i have necessarely to configure the software on my PC from the remote location???

2): is it possible to connect my slingbox to a satellite receiver say at 28.2 astra 2d and from there stream on to my pc all the free to air channels that comes on astra 2d??
3) assuming that i got a very fast broadband connection (that meets the necessary requirements for both upload and download) at the point where the sling box sits, and at the remote location am using a pay as u go broadband connection, will i still be able to watch the streamed channels on the PC having there pay&go connection?????
thanks all

ModerationMoved your post to existing thread started. No need to start new threads asking the same questions.

1. You can download the sling media software on any pc. I have it here also where my slingbox lives. Configure the slingbox and router on the main pc and then set up remote viewing options.

2. Yes, connect A/V cables and configure for digibox.

3. Yes as long as it's a decent connection.

sorry , i actually watch astra 2d in the uk with just a standard digital receiver (KAON) not a digibox, can i still link the slingbox to the KAON and stream on to my pc the free channelsk,???

**satelliteman** · 03-07-2009

I've only ever set up for a digibox so not sure. As long as your receiver is listed then should be ok
