"Nice if you can keep it working"
I got this so I could watch my home tv from my hotel rooms, but I no longer use it. The hotel internet connections are usually less then 512k and it's not worth it. It does run good enough, and even when I am on a fast connect, it still locks up pr
PROS: watch tv remotely!
CONS: freezes up, need really fast internet connection

Need a fast upload speed!
Update: I've been using this for 3 months now and haven't had any problems. My internet upload speed in the States is 512k. It looks good, but could look great with a faster upload speed. I stream @ 480k. I have my TV setup as an extended desktop usi

"Excellent Product, Easy to Set Up"

Needed another part to get it up and running...disappointing
This was my husband's only gift and I was SO disappointed that it needed an $80 something to get it up and running. It works okay now, but I'd never to it again. Also had I know FedEx was delivering I NEVER would have ordered. Circuit City sent it

"Excellent customer service; product works as advertised."
The best part about my new Slingbox Solo is knowing that theyve got an awesome customer support department to lean on. Im one of those guys that tosses the directions aside in favor of figuring things out myself. I will admit however that I d

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

My girlfriend just gave me a Solo for an early x-mas gift. Yes, she is great, and no, you can't have her! The Solo practically set's itself up. You only have to unbox it and plug it in. I am watching it from my laptop and also downloaded the mobil

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
