paired w/ direct tv and Symbian phone
This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) awesome awesome device.
i hooked it up using a direct tv box and started watching on my laptop wireless computer and on my phone at work.
it took about 30 mins of set up because i had to physically connect the router to my laptop while the slingbox updated its firmware. Then I had to find the Slingbox ID (which is under the Edit portion of the Slingbox directory for your slingbox). ...

SlingBox Rocks
This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) The Good
---------------
The technology works! Using a Sprint Air card I was able to keep tuned into my TV while driving in the country. This is probably the worst case scenario for remote reception. I was only getting about 100K download speed with occasional dropouts. No other streamer that I have tested would work under these conditions.
I was running 320-240 res under these...

Incredible Little Box
This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) I have heard the Slingbox advertised for several years and have often wondered what the appeal was--with other technologies like tv tuner cards and portable media players, I never saw the point. Recently, however, I purchased a 3.5G smartphone and found there was Slingbox client software available for it. The idea of watching television anywhere from my phone [with an unlimited data plan] intrigued me en...

Much Improved Over The Pro
This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) I have spent the last couple hours playing with the new Slingbox Solo. In comparison to the Slingbox pro I like this new model better. It is about 1/2 the size and does not need an extra dongle for HD video.
The software to setup the device is very easy and very fast. Video quality on a home network is superb. Internet is not bad but depends on how much upstream bandwidth you have available.

**Remote Viewing** - Slingbox vs HAVA
This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) This review is for the purpose of remote viewing only. I only use the HAVA and Sling Box on a completely separate internet connection from where they are stationed. Sometimes this is across town and sometimes it is on the other side of the world. These devices do allow you to stream locally, on your local network, but I do not do that often enough to comment on it.
I bought these devices s...

Innovative product with no monthly fee
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) These days I don't expect much to be free. Well finally here is a product that you buy once and you have no recurring fee. This product follows through on all of its promises. You can watch your cable TV anywhere you can get through a firewall on the Internet (which isn't everywhere). Th...

Most excellent device
Purchased this only for home network use. Wanted a concise viewable picture with intelligible low level sound. This system gives me what I wanted.brbrThe good things said about other SlingBox models also apply to the Solo model. Connected it to HD cablebox via component cable. brbrDid not have to activate UPnP for home network use. Does not noticeably slow other processing.brbr The SlingPlayer software is very good. It will display on either of dual monitors. Display size can be varied fr...

Known problem that Sling won't fix
This review is from: Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) (Electronics) I've had a Solo for 17 months (purchased from Amazon on 10/1/2007). It worked fine for almost 15 months, then a firmware upgrade occurred and the box has been flaky ever since. Slingmedia has a notice on their support site that this is a known problem (the notice has been there for at least 2 months). But they admit they can't solve it.
See slingmedia support site subject "Streaming in Slin...

Its a great idea to watch tv away from home but the quality just isn't there
I just recently bought the slingbox solo. The installation was pretty simple and I love how the slingbox can control everything on your cable box just like if you were at home. if you have dvr you can pause the tv show on the road and rewind and you caneven access your dvr recorded shows which i thought was great. the only thing is the quality of the picture when im watching the sporting games or anything really just isnt there. I had it running when I was at my house where the cable is and the...

Lives up to expectations
I bought this on the recommendation of Howard Stern. My slingbox solo has proven itself to be a reliable product that does exactly what it promises. There is nothing like getting access to my TiVo from anywhere I have a high speed internet connection.brbrThis product delivers! 5-stars!!
