So, und gestern war mal wieder Fringe Tag
Da bin ich mittlerweile auch in der 2. Staffel in Folge 10. Und ich finde, auch diese Serie hebt sich stark von anderen durchschnittlichen Serien ab...

mrskytv in Spain does streaming of your own personal sky box via slingbox I am using it now in pattaya to watch what was recorded last night you need good Internet speed though.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000W4CXT0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;I have been a Sling user for over 6 years now - traveling a lot with my job and having my Sky box liberated so I can view it anywhere in the world with a decent internet connection has been a life saver. However, I would warn other potential buyers that this product *can* be highly temperamental and also very unreliable. Over the years I have had 2 Slingbox Classics and 3 Singbox Pro's - original and then warranty replacements, as well as a replaced power supply and IR cables. When it works it is brilliant - when it doesn't - or when it goes wrong outside of the 2 year warranty, as mine just has, there is NO repair service available - so you either have to bin it or fork out for a new one. Sadly there is no comparable product on sale, so even though I loathe the fact that Sling just don't care that they sell such unreliable products I have no choice but to spend another £150 on a replacement and hope and pray it lasts longer than 2 years, otherwise the cost of ownership of this product is much higher than the purchase price alone would have you believe. Approach with caution advised.
Update June 2012 - my replacement Slingbox failed - fortunately just within its 2 year warranty, so Sling sent me a 'refurbished' replacement. That didnt work either, so they sent me a new power supply which has done the trick - for now. Looking at the forums, it seems that the power supply (plug) failing is one of the most common problems with this unit, so if yours has gone wrong outside of the warranty, you might want to try replacing this first - at a cost of around £15. Another problem involves internal cheap capacitor failing and the connection to the router failing via the network port. These are much harder to fix unless you are good with a soldering iron! There are some YouTube videos of users who have had a go if you are that way inclined.
I am pretty sure Sling are aware of the failings of their box, but I have no idea why they just don't seem to care. A great product when it works - a loathsome one when it fails outside of warranty!
