I have a Slingbox 500 It does not work in the UK Tech is saying it is due to the WiFi in the building. Not strong enough is there a way to boost this?

Look for a wireless booster for your signal, if you can string up a LAN cable it's much better and faster. Cheers

I use mine with sling box all the time. Not sure what platform you want to use but, I would guess it should. Also it will depend on your connection. Jack

The 2Wire *won't* work; apparently it only works in areas that have TV service. I do not know about the others.My advice (which I finally followed a week ago) is to dump your provider for another service. Cable internet is cheaper and faster where I am, and their tech support can't possibly be slower or more hobbled.(EDIT: If you are (or know someone who is) highly computer literate, search the net for "nvg510 solving common problems". You'll find a page describing a method of forcibly fixing some of the software problems with this device. )

Bellin @TV will work on TV, but you will need a computer using the tv as a display.I found this device to be very unreliable, requiring constant reboots, pretty inconvenient considering it is designed to be a remote device.I currently use Slingbox and has worked flawlessly for 10months so far, with no reboots.

Hi Gypsie, you need a dynamic DNS service (free) . Go to SlingBox community and it will detail it for you.

C. Ady is 100% correct. If you don't have anything else than the DLNA functions are serviceable. From a complete product. I purchased a 850 Samsung in part for the DLNA feature. Your better off getting a Slingbox.

I asked Samsung an additional question - which I will share - I have only basic cable (no box) and the PIP will NOT WORK AT ALL!!! When I reverse cables (i.e. DVD player) I can tell the PIP works. Samsung failed to identify that one MUST HAVE a paid for cable box. Contact with them has resulted in NO ANSWER!!!

HI, the slingbox is a great time.... I used the Slingbox when I was in Paris.... I watch the first round of the NBA finals in a Broadway theater... Just during intermittion..... Is it like being a home?.... NO.... Is it a great substitute!... Yes.... The slingbox reception all start with your home.... the faster the internet the better reception on the other end... You can call Slingbox's tech support.... they are very helpful... lot of luck....

I don't know but $300 is a ripoff. As you say, no wifi or HD means this should be $150 in my opinion. Its a freakin' accessory and not a Slingbox. Bad move Sling.

I'm thinking this won't work since the remote you use for a Slingbox is virtual (you click on it with your mouse). Since your TV isn't hooked up to a computer anymore, you won't be able to control the channels, much less get the connection to Slingbox even started.

Yes it works in Australia (both Slingbox 350 and 500). If you buy the 500, you won't find Australia as one of the countries listed during your setup, but not to worry, simply pick any country and it will work.

Only if you have a sling box player device like a Tablet, PC, or Mac feeding the signal to the TV . I don't know if player software exists for other players like Apple TV or Roku.

The Slinglink simply helps you get a wired internet connection where it normally isn't - it's basically a bridge. For example, if you have your router or modem in one room of your house but you need to get internet in another room that does not have an Ethernet jack, you have to plug one of the Slinglink units in the electrial wall outlet in the room your router is and connect the two with an Ethernet cable. Then plug the second Slinglink unit the the other room's wall outlet and voila! You have internet available in that room. Now I do not have a SlingCatcher or know much about it, but if it needs an Ethernet cable to make it work, then the Slinglink will do the job. Hope this helps, good luck!

I just checked into it. Try here. There seems to be a link.http://www.slingbox.com/go/australia

What the others are saying. I was unable to find a software update online, so I had to run a wired connection to the TV set to update. I too am having WiFi issues, and the software update did not help. I've tried two access points without success. I'm going to try a third AP sometime today. Regardless of the outcome, I have a Sharp Tech scheduled to come out on Wednesday.

Tom, By this point, you may have already found the info you needed. If not, the below link might be useful to you (enough folks were facing the problem, someone put the material together). Hope it helps! http://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/slingbox-solo-freezing-stuck-optimizing-losing-connection-check-the-capacitors/
