Fantastic product. Easy to set up, easy to use...
5 out of 5 stars.
As someone who travels [a lot] for work, I couldn't live without my slingbox (this is the second one).

Being stuck in a hotel overseas with a choice of CNN or BBC News for 4 nights is depressing. However, with the slingbox connected to my second Sky+ box, I have access to all my recordings and programs.

You need a decent connection speed (upload (512kb+) as well as download) for the best quality, but even with a slower connection it's not bad.

If you're plugging this into your main TV device you will be sharing the screen with whoever is at home (hence why I use a second box), so it's worth checking if someone is already watching it, otherwise you could end up randomly changing channels on each other.

If you've got more than one device, then you'll need to look at the SlingBox Pro option, but for just one device this is fine.

You may also need to think about getting an ethernet bridge, if your slingbox is not in the same room as your router (there is no wireless connectivity)

So far so good
4 out of 5 stars.
Product works very well. Wonderful when travelling abroad to watch the best TV in the world (BBC, ITV, Ch4, 5 and all of SKY) and not have to make do with that awful american TV and the incessant adverts every 5 minutes and annoyingly padded-out programmes.
Had a little trouble with setting up the router for port forwarding but with a quick call to the Sling helpline the tech. guy took charge and fixed the problem in less than a minute! Well done Sling Media!

This is an excellent piece of kit ideally priced which fits my needs perfectly.

As I travel a great deal with my job and find myself at the mercy of the terrible TV you find in most hotels, the Slingbox allows me to watch my own TV over the internet. It also includes a remote control which allows me to change channels through the laptop screen.

mobile broadband
5 out of 5 stars.
got a laptop with mobile broadband (vodaphone 7.2 mbps) and asked pc world if it would work with a sling box - they said no - i searched the internet to see how others had got on and decided to buy a slingbox and try it for myself and while the picture isn't as good as when it is connected via my sky broadband at home it does work - the picture is good enough to enjoy the football when you are away from home

great stuff
