    "Great for international travel"

    by eldeesilver on September 22, 2005

    Pros: easy to use, watch your local TV anywhere

    Cons: don't expect a perfect picture

    Summary: Really nice when you travel far from home. Worth every penny.

    Don't expect the same quality picture as in your living room.

    I watched my local cable channels from Hong Kong and mainland China last month. I couldn't believe the content made it through the Chinese internet police.

    Due to my connect speed -- the slingbox was not good for action movies, but was great for local news and regular non-high-action shows.

    It was amazing to change channels from half way around the world -- and it only took seconds.

    Found the picture clarity better when I used a TV as a monitor(rather than on my laptop screen).

    I have Qwest DSL as my high speed internet connection. Will the Slingbox work with this?
