Default Sling Box

I have been using a sling box for years.. never output to the TV though. I had to stop when verizon wireless capped monthly usage to 5GB. It was great... the slingbox is hooked up to my Tivo! From anywhere in the world I can watch TV and Tivo. If you have a nice fast broadband connection it works really well. I started using it with a 150K connection. It was not wonderful, but I got to see and hear tv shows. When verizon went to EVDO speeds and Comcast (my home provider) increased upload speeds, the picture was smooth and reliable. But, alas, verizon has thwarted
that!!!

300k upload from home will deliver a good picture. I can sling at uploads of over 500k these days with a really nice picture.
