I want to adjust my dish. I want to bring my laptop outside with me so I can view the Q. If this is possible could someone please tell me what I need to do to make this happen.

I use a SlingBox Pro SB200-100 hooked up to my wireless router. When I'm out adjusting the dish I put it into 'Control Mode' for less delay.

My Slingbox is about 9 years old. I am still able to use the SlingPlayer app, which I don't think is possible with currently available models. But I haven't checked in a while so maybe someone else here knows with certainty.

I use the two laptop method using two Skype accounts, others use an iPhone or other mobile device.

Piyi was helped over on FridgeFTA. He now connected the A3 to a router and is using his Android phone with the Spark2 Android App to directly view the signal meters.

Thanks for posting this Titanium. I thought I should let members know I received help on Fridge FTA and they could go there and see what I did to get this solved, but I was a little slow. I love this app and my A3 they both work great!
