| | | Slingbox Now?
I have never had a slingbox, but would like to do what it can do. My receivers are 622s. I have an opportunity to get one now. Should I wait for the 922? I remember Scott the founder a while ago saying that someone is better off now with Slingbox Pro HD because the 922 is not quite performing yet in the Slingbox arena. I really want to sling but would I be better off waiting for the release of the 922? Somebody please tell me, I can hardly wait. Thank you. |

| | | I am a big fan of components. When one device fails, the others still work. I am not sure what a built-in Slingbox gets you, other than limits on how to connect it. |

| | Thank you mrschwarz. Was not really watching this thread but I got my slingbox. Have not set it up yet. I just got a different internet service and a Mac computer. Mac computer does not like the old router setup. There is a lot I am trying to figure out right now and there are a lot of networking accessories I cannot afford because I am really lacking funds right now but thank you. |

| | | Slingbox Now?
I finally got my Slingbox up and running, no hitches. Really Sling helped me get it running, they set it up for me on my computer. I sometimes say things that I really don't know what I am talking about here on Satelliteguys, and I really didn't know about Slingbox because I hadn't ever had one. I had just heard about it. Now that I do have a Slingbox going I know what it is like. I thought maybe Slingbox was not as good as it is. I thought it would be weak on my Macintosh because there is presently no support for HD. Was I ever wrong. Slingbox looks awesome on my Mac. Slingbox is without a doubt the coolest accessory for TV viewing since Dish Network. My excuse for not getting Sling earlier is ignorance. Now that have it I really like it. Thank you to everyone I learn from here on this site. I know I had a lot of help and I really love everything I have now. |
