[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 827201, member: 176256"] If you have relatives or friends in the UK with a reasonably fast Internet connection (for upload) and unlimited data then the can host a Slingbox for you. This is available with a built-in Freeview tuner (a Slingbox HD Pro - I have one) and you can use a laptop or Boxee Box or Sling Catcher anywhere in the world to view whatever the Slingbox can tune into. You can also connect the Slingbox to a $ly receiver and it can control that as well. The quality of the video is effectively limited by the upload speed as download speed is unlikely to be aproblem. 1Mbps is a reasonable minimum for a watchable picture but the higher the better. Running the Slingbox on my home network at about 8 Mbps gave a picture virtually indistinguishable from direct. The Slingbox does not have a Freeview HD tuner itself but will will accept an HD picture but only from a component source. I have not tried this out. I have only used it from the UK to France at 1Mbps and it was a watchable picture although there was some sound lag from time to time. [/QUOTE]
