ONYX Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 [color="#FF0000"][i][b]I bought the Slingbox Pro yesterday. I have it working on my desktop PC. But what I dont understand is, how can I or how do I, or anyone else for that matter, watch my tv away from my home. Is their something they most download or is their a website they must go to connect to my stream? I dont get it? I need help.

-GoBengals- Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 yea as others mentioned they need the sling player, they also need your box name, finder id, and password, to watch.. and while they are watching your home internet sucks ass and slows way the hell down... as its sucking your upstream bandwidth to the max...

-GoBengals- Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 also what internet do you have? if its basic or standard road runner, its likely not got much of an upload speed to start so it may be shoppy or grainy, even my turbo road runner sucks with its 512k upload, zoomtown had much better upload speeds, but poor download speeds... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steggyD Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 You have Verizon Wireless, as in the aircard? Did you not get a revA capable aircard? Or are you just out of revA area right now? Upload on VZW aircards, revA capable, should be 600 to 800 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steggyD Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Yes, it is fast. Upload speeds are actually faster than my dsl and the cable I formerly had here, as long as it's revA.

-GoBengals- Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 verizon is typically $80, bigger markets they price match sprint for $59 tho. but not in loly cincinnati, and they ahve a 5gb cap, yes even on the "unlimited" they can shut off your card, they also have rules against using a slingbox and streaming any media... its in the fine print on the broschure and likely website. i found it funny... if upload is only 100-150k thats rough. should maybe work ok.. but youll have to test it.. as for the firewall, you need to login to your router, if your using one, and add service to the TCP/ICP (or whatever its called) and add slingbox to whatever port they say in the setup instructions.. should fix the firewall error it gives... unless verizon has blocked the slingbox service as a whole on their network..somehow.
