[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 795786, member: 176256"] Then you're really looking at a Slingbox solution. I've played with a laptop at thre receiving end as well as a Sling Catcher and a Boxee Box. The latter two feed into a TV so can be viewed by many people. A laptop can be viewed by a single person and, if it has suitable connections, can feed into a TV. How easy it is to set up the TV connection depends on the laptop. Comparing a Sling Catcher and a Boxeee Box I would say that the Sling Catcher is easier to use but a Boxee Box is more useful at other times. Both are media players but the Boxee Box can play many more audio and video files. As far as Internet connections and speeds are concerned the faster the better but a reasonable picture can be obtained with an uplink speed of 1Mbps. Downlink speeds are not usually a problem but should exceed the upload speed. There can be a delay between sound and vision which can be a pain. [/QUOTE]
