Watch and control your own TV from the next room or from the other side of the world!
A
truly great invention for motorcaravanners who are always struggling to
get their favourite BBC and ITV programmes when away in Europe in the
far south or even far north or west - and all without a monster dish.
The amazing Slingbox allows you to watch your own live
TV, via the
Internet on your computer or mobile phone. So
now you can enjoy your favourite programmes or sporting events wherever
you are, or maybe like us you sometimes want to access BBC or SKY
interactive weather? Slingbox works with Sky, Freeview, Cable,
DVD, HD, etc., even Home Theatre. The idea is quite simple, the Slingbox
connects your TV receiver to your internet router so you can log in to
your Slingbox across the internet and control your receiver just as if
you were relaxing in your own lounge with remote in hand!
Free Viewing: Once purchased there are no subscriptions and no
monthly fees to pay - so on normal broadband there's no extra cost
at all, you could watch for free upstairs or in the garden via your
wireless broadband. The only cost when travelling would be your mobile
charges which could be zero if you have an inclusive package or possibly
per Mb or per day when 'roaming'. My own Vodaphone deal gives me
included access in the UK and pretty much unlimited access abroad once
I've paid Voda's 24 hour login fee - the trick plainly being to arrange
to check your emails, surf, and watch TV in batches - over one 24 hour
period!
Technology: SlingStream™ is the groundbreaking technology within
your Slingbox that dynamically adjusts your video quality to provide the
best possible viewing experience. It functions by taking into account a
variety of factors, including network bandwidth, SlingPlayer device
characteristics, video content, and the type of video input. Using
patent pending algorithms, SlingStream automatically adjusts compression
level, video bit rate, frame rate, and other settings to create a
quality video experience. And SlingStream works regardless of the
connection type, whether it's LAN, Internet, or even wireless from your
mobile phone.
No dish, no footprint issues, no monthly fees, great
quality and BBC/ITV/Sky/Cable anywhere in the world!

Easy and automatic setup in most cases and good on-line and telephone
support. I had SKY on my laptop at home within minutes of opening the
box but I needed to follow a manual set-up guide for my BTHomehub router
which refused to auto-configure for remote access. Slingmedia support
promptly emailed me a link to the instructions when asked by email.
Excellent product, excellent service.

Slinglink & Networking: These units can be used quite
independently to create a simple 85 Mbps Ethernet network in your home
or office without running network cables all over the place. One unit
connected with a short Cat 5/6 cable to your main PC or Server or Switch
or Hub or Router will act as the 'master', the second unit will then be
a network access point for you to connect another PC, Laptop, Printer,
etc., via another short Cat 5 cable. Buy a second pair and you can then
use each of these to connect another item to the same network. The
single port is appropriate because these are to connect single items
just where they are plugged in without lots of long trailing cables. The
network is actually connected via signals sent along normal mains
electricity wires - all very clever, very reliable, and completely plug
& play. We use them ourselves having found wireless a bit flaky in some
parts of our premises.
