Re: Picture quality
Actually, You guys are cutting the Slingbox short. The video quality is actually pretty good.
Obviously if you were to have a higher upload speed, then your video would stream better. However 256 kpbs is the Sling recommended upload speed. It actually looks pretty good at that type of speed.
Anyway, just thought I'd put my 2 cents in on that with having seen it already. |

Heh. You're asking one of the biggest sports fanatics in the world if it'd be worth it to him if he could be in some-remote-place-with-no-TV-but-wifi-istan taking care of something important, and still be able to watch The Game on his laptop? Even at low quality?
You bethca'!! Sign me up!!!
You have no idea the number of people that will, when stuck at work during a game, sit and watch/monitor one of those GameTracker java applets that give realtime data for a game. it's a huge number. And that's with no audio or video!!
With a video stream though?! Even a low-quality one? Totally. I'm there... |

This is true, but what if there are other upstreams? Voip, web server, ftp, etc. Would it be worth watching your "own" TV? |

It wouldn't *need* to be that good for the purposes of most. |

Mobile, AL | Picture quality couldn't be that good with most ISPs only giving 256k up. |
