Slingbox (1 Viewer)

[ShiftZZ]

I have an Echostar which has a slingbox facility.
If I was in France and I had access to the internet via FON, would my FON access allow me to access my slingbox ?

I iknow some funsters use a proxy server to watch the BBC etc, but wold I still need a proxy to watch my slingbox?

I dont know about the technical side of this but my Swedish neighbour here in Benidorm uses his Slingbox to excess Swedish TV daily.

Whenever the campsite wifi drops to a crawl, you betcha somewhere there is a slingbox user or three catching up on a soap

You can watch it anywhere in the world that has wifi. You need to leave your unit/router on at home and the picture will scale down if you have poor wifi at receiving end. Otherwise great for free uk tv anywhere, time difference allowing.

Jim is right people can complain, but it probably uses no more than when others face time home

I am away from home at the moment and I was going to log on to get the box to record BBC2 NI, so that I can watch the rugby (Ireland v AB).

There are two areas here to consider:

Home B/band needs to have a good upload speed ( around 3mb or better )

Remote B/band ( camp site ) needs to be around 5Mb download or better, however the more using the B/band in the camp site the less change you have of getting a freeze free picture. If the camp site ( or wherever you are pulling the wifi from ) has set up the router correctly you might get away with 3Mb, but as most never go into the router menu to set things thats not likely to happen.
