Having problems with my Slingbox Solo hanging and frustrated with the idea of investing another 25% of the cost just to talk to their customer support after the 1 year warranty I bought the Monsoon Hava Platimum but I did leave the Slingbox hooked up so we'd have both to play with while snowbirding. Just had to use the S-video for the Hava and the composite video for the Slingbox.
Thinking the Slingbox problem was a buffering problem tried running with buffering off but that didn't help. Changed capacitors still the same problem. It seems to occur after half hour of viewing, remote only, but sometimes sooner.
Was watching speedtest and durring the upload portion of the test it would go up to 310k but then drop to 260k. Had dsl ISP check it out and they fixed the problem but I upgraded service anyway so minimum upload rating is now above 384k. Went remote again and it still hung.
I've saw posts about heat and powersupply problems so I moved the Slingbox from atop the Dish 522 dvr and lowered the enviorment temperature 10 degrees. It seems to be working, time will tell.
Noted that the streaming rate on the Slingbox would drop occasionally to the lower 200ks but the rate on the Hava would drop to the higher 200k's and the picture on either would get a little messy but more so on the Slingbox. I'm thinking it's either internet bandwith or server overload problem.
The wife is the major user and I've been asking her which she used last night and she says so far it's the Hava, she dosen't like the amount of time the Slingbox takes to connect. I don't notice it so much but my laptop is slower than hers.
