Yes. He has to have a computer there to set it up then you can set up your computer here to view his channels.

English:This device transmits internet video signal that you connect. I will connect the decoder Directv and I can see or change channels from any PC or smartphone (one at a time) that is connected to the Internet. Greetings.Español:Este dispositivo transmite a Internet la señal de video que le conectes. Yo le conecte el decodificador de Directv y puedo ver o cambiar de canal desde cualquier PC o smartphone (uno solo a la vez) que este conectado a Internet. Saludos.

No, you have to set it up near your TV, on your computer and then take it to Mexico. Because you want it to show American TV right? Then you have to be near American TV when you set it up because it somehow senses your TV, it has to capture all channels from your American TV and show them where you want it to show them. Unless you want to watch Mexican TV, then you can set it up near your Mexican TV. It has to be near the TV you want to watch when away! I hope this helps!

Thats an interesting question :) I wont comment on the legalities, but be aware there might be legal issues. I don't see why it couldn't work though, assuming that your friend in Mexico has a strong internet connection. There also may be authentication issues with slingbox. They require you to validate with their site before you log in. They may see a foreign network and not allow you to sign in. The lag would also be bad. Right now if I want to change channels or pause a show, it takes a few seconds for the actual command to filter back to me. This is because I am a couple seconds behind what is actually being shown in my living room. I imagine it would be worse in Mexico, due to the distance. But other than that, I can think of no reason it wouldn't work. Also be aware that slinbox is a bandwidth hog by its very nature, so you and your friend would both want unlimited bandwidth internet plans.

Mine works perfectly well in South Africa, and I love it...because we watch my American TV in South Africa!

Yes you can... Look at the following link.. Just what you are looking for. http://maniacbug.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/rf24network/

most likely not - i just view this digital conversion thing as a way to "force" people into getting cable of some kind. You will need a converter box coz there will be no more over the air analog transmissions of TV signals.

You can use it in Venezuela. When you activate the box under your name or contract the serial number of the stolen box will reveal the previous owner. Bingo you get caught!!!!

Am not sure. Suspect it would depend on what equipment you are using to drive the signal and atmospheric conditions. I can say this....I live in East Texas and receive 'SKIP' transmissions from as far away as Florida, New York, Maine, Washington, and Puerto Rico !! The antenna is capable of receiving messages for your requirement. Transmitting would depend on your equipment.

There are great SW transmitters in the U.S. I'm listening to WBCQ from Monticello, Maine right now. WBCQ Free Radio broadcasts the Fred Flintstone Music Show every Friday followed by Allan Weiner Worldwide radio show. The DX Wavescan program and Voice of America English language broadcasts to Africa are fun. There are lots of great SW programs. A decent receiver and good antenna will pull these shows in.

You might want to look into a VPN set-up with a router. This will base your IP address in the USA but it does cost extra money. I'm not sure of the legalities of this but I've seen it work.

No not without a digital to analog converter box. The stations do not broadcast in analog anymore.

The box itself can work anywhere, however, that is assuming that a normal receiver can tune into a satellite. This box is intended for Free to air satellites, if that is what you are looking to do, this box will serve the purpose well.

To my humble opinion that's bad planning. A US sim will get you romming and incurring higher comms costs (you will be 1200miles away from the US network). Use a Mex SIM and use skype/viber or similar to comm on data, it should be way cheaper (but i must admit i have no clue about Mex sims and data packages). Hope this helps. otherwise, send a postcard !

Nope. Unfortunately this box is geared to global use, not very American friendly. Showbox would be the closest app to channel surfing. Instead you should...Get a fire tv stick and run Sling TV through that for 20 dollars a month. Very worth it.

you don't need the internet to run the box by itself. As far as I know the Rubio built in guide will work with out the internet. however, if you need to update software for either Rubio or channel master you will need the internet.

You are liekly to have an issue with the tuner, too. It may not pick up foreign stations. Check with your intended location.

The xc403p is for cable only, not for ammerica more so for the caribbean, the box is not a satellite receiver but a cable receiver

You can stream many international stations on the Internet these days. There's plenty of shortwave to listen to, particularly if you aren't limiting yourself to English. China has an aggressive schedule, and Spanish Foreign Radio is quite active. This particular radio is a single-conversion unit and not really anything great. If you are looking for a comprehensive answer, I suggest you spend a couple of bucks and get Ken Reitz's book "How to Listen to the World."
