Difficult but rewarding install

Install requires removing the entire rear bumper cover, the product looks great and functions well. If you're ready to take the bumper off, its not that hard just make sure you get nylon plugs because unless you are super human you will break a few, and you should be fine.

A bit difficult to install if you have a bunch of wires in the box.

Looks great. But the install is not nearly as easy as they state. 15 minutes! HA!

installation was a royal pain, but once it was done i haven't had an issue with it after a year of use

So I would have given 4 stars for the difficult install but that was our issue. If you don't have a handyman partner and a ton of patience, you should have a pro install. Our efforts were complicated by hard to reach access to both water line and hole for faucet (we used the previous one for dish soap dispenser). Things to know; it's def a 2 person job, there are plugs to be removed on a lot of parts and it's gonna take a few hours to sort out and install. At one point, we nearly bailed but took a break and came back with clearer view to a solution. It does consume every useable space in our cabinet which is smaller than average cuz there is a drawer below it. While I now have to figure out where to put all my cleaning supplies I must say that I am delighted to finally have a reliable filtration. We have been spending ridiculous $$ on water and PH enhanced waters. The cost of the unit will likely recoup in a months use as we drink a lot of water. Added bonus is that I can use it for cooking too!

It looks amazing and it took me about 7 min to install even though I didn't figure everything out from the start. The trick is to take ur time and work carefully.

This was very difficult to install but worked perfectly once it was in. It is not for the faint of heart to try to install this. You need to know what you were doing and you need another pair of hands to help you.

This system was a little time consuming to install but WELL WORTH the investment and effort. I'm glad I did not skip this item when installing my aftermarket receiver.

Works well but much hard to install than instruction indicate. Extra drilling and fog light mods needed.

I was able to install my SlingBox PRO-HD to work with U-Verse within four hours. The net result is excellent, making it well worth the effort of a surprisingly bumpy installation.

- The physical installation is very easy and the cables that come with the SlingBox are nicely packaged and coded

- The SlingBox software installation was much harder than it needed to be. The down-loadable installer doesn't work with Chrome at all. It claims to work with IE, but the messages requiring a response would often get hidden, making it annoyingly impossible to complete the install. When I switched over to Firefox, everything worked perfectly, and the installation was done in 3 minutes.

- SlingBox did recognize the U-Verse system, and its Motorola gateway (I have the Motorola VIP-1200). This enabled me to start receiving U-Verse programming on my PC immediately, using my home WiFi network.

- The placement of the remote IR cable onto the VIP-1200 was easy enough. I ended up using two of the cable heads to get optimal coverage of the sensor.

- The SlingBox software offered me the correct definition of the emulated remote channel changer, and I was able to start using it immediately. It does feel a little strange at first, but it is an ingenious emulation that lets you control almost all of the functions on the VIP-1200.

- Getting through all of this and getting the SlingBox to work inside my house took about 90 minutes.

- I am a little disappointed that the system does not import the AT&T U-Verse Programming Guide directly. (It declares that this feature is only available on cable or satellite systems). However, using the emulated channel changer, I am able to scroll through the AT&T channel lineup as if I was sitting in front of the TV. I can also control all of the DVR functions perfectly well with the emulation buttons, and access previously recorded content, and even delete programs that are no longer required.

- Then I went on to configure network access, by sitting at Starbucks and attaching to an AT&T WiFi hot spot. This was the hardest part of the installation process. The SlingBox configuration utility demands a Username and Password for the in-home router. My in-home router is a U-Verse branded 2Wire 3800 HGV-B, which doesn't seem to have a username, although the password is provided on an external label. The lack of a username caused the SlingBox configuration utility to reject my attempts to use it.

- By going to the 2Wire website, I found some helpful notes on authorizing SlingBox traffic to pass through the 2Wire firewall using a pin-holing technique. With this, I was able to configure my in-home router directly, and I didn't need the deficient SlingBox utility to help me anymore.

- Now, I was able to start watching my home TV content inside the comfort of the Starbucks store. The U-Verse uplink in my home is capped at 1.5Mbps, but this does not seem to harm the overall picture quality.

- Total installation time was about four hours. It could have been less than two hours with a better software installation package, but I am looking forward to enjoying the product now.

After spending a couple of hours trying to install this, I almost gave up. Then I found this video. After watching this, I installed it in about five minutes.

This is not a toy for a casual, weekend player; rather this Spalding model is a  well-designed, sturdy basketball backboard, but be aware of a couple of installation peculiarities.  I would describe this as just above "average" installation difficulty, and requires a drill, socket wrench, a sawhorse  (!!), and several good crescent wrenches.  Not really recommended to attempt unless you have some space to work in (not recommended for apartments, really.)  This will be more than a casual couple of hours, and will take AT LEAST 2 adults, and realistically there are some parts where three or more sets of hands would expedite things. This particular assembly took about 5 hours, on and off.  Please note that delivery is by 3rd party carrier that only delivers during weekdays (at least in my part of the country but probably true for most places in the US.)  There was some minor damage to the wheels that was not evident when the unit was delivered, so I guess we're out of luck....and it seems to me that scuffing and marks are hard to avoid unless you are very careful when you install (we installed partly on a lawn avoiding most scratches.)  But since this is going to live outdoors in the elements, we didn't worry about  cosmetics too much. Much of the hardware didn't seem to perfectly fit, especially since so many of them require near-simultaneous installation to that all of the holes and bolts lined up properly.

 The holes of the plate used to align the bolts from the main pole into the plastic base assembly do not line up well, and there is no easy way to visually guide (we had to feel our way).  It's very heavy and very awkward and it took 30 minutes to get the parts secured so that we could proceed.  At that point, the assembly is very unstable, and really needs a sawhorse for installation of the smaller poles used to shore up the main pole.

Most of the hardware was present in bags, but not labeled or assembled.  We had to carefully compare the not-to-scale pictures and description to avoid using the wrong hardware at any one point of the installation.

There are some plastic guards used to shield the bottom corners of the backboard, however, the instructions require that the end user line up, mark, and drill holes for this hardware.  I am not clear why these couldn't be pre-drilled, and we have not as of yet installed  (we got tired of the endless assembly and started testing out our new backboard!)  The film covering the backboard to protect against scratches is VERY hard to completely remove without an exacto-type knife.

Once assembled and the base properly weighted with concrete bags and water, it's clear that this backboard can withstand hard play.

Overall, the Spalding NBA Hydrbid Portable Basketball System is recommended!

Installation process is not easy; and getting life assistance takes a long, long time.
