Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | Its a Slingbox. It takes the av signals from a receiver / dvd etc, compresses them, then squirts them via broadband connections to a remote location. You need decent upload speeds at the home address (in reality a meg upload speed) and decent download at the remote location. You can buy slingcatchersd to watch on a tv, although if you dont want the extra expense then its on a pc. Various places sell them - about a hundred quid. | ||

Simple, reliable and it works. | ||

My System: 2 $ky boxes DB 7020 tech 1500 db500s | been using mine for a year now and no problems, got it connected to freeview box in the uk now but before that to a sky box. When you nstall it you are given the option as to the type of box and you get an interactive rempote on the pc screen to change channels. | ||
