at a T-Mobile site), I get 300-350 which is amazingly near the Comcast upload cap of 368, so this is just fine. Interestingly, going remote with my Laptop (so off the LAN, e.g. It all works, but using the laptop stream speed is 300-400 (within the LAN!), and using the PC it is 300-450 or so. This should be an easy one: the setup is straightforward - Linksys WRT54G router with latest (4.00) firmware, 1 PC with direct ethernet connection to the router, 1 laptop (HP Compaq NC6000, Pentium M, integrated wireless G), Slingbox have tried with 2 different wireless bridges: Linksys wireless B game adapter, and a 3COM pocket b/g wireless router with a client mode. The one issue that seems perplexing is streaming throughput: despite best efforts, can't seem to get near the 1Mbps target. Quick question for those that know: picked up Slingbox yesterday, and everything seems to work great, including remote access. can you plug directly into wired eithernet and tell us what you see? you should see speeds approaching 1Mbps for the stream (will be higher in newer releases of the software).Ĭan you describe your setup (what sort of networking equip do you have and how is your set up laid out? is your slingbox connected directly into your router via ethernet cable or are you using a powerline ethernet bridge or wireless ethernet bridge/game adapter? ) Hey infrarae, i don't think it has as much to with your notebook as it does to do with the quality of network connection you have. It might be good to post a minimum/recommended spec chart for the viewing PC, as a lot of the viewing will be done on notebooks, and it appears that my nb is not fully up to the task. The P4M in my notebook is apparently holding back my ability to get a stream up over 450k. While this will be great for a demo in the office, I fear that my notebook for viewing is going to be the bottleneck in this equation. I have a work around in place right now, but I can't do it forever (I have a IR cable running in front of everything directly to the Tivo) so eventually I need to be able to use Tivo codeset 1. So, if you are sending out "0" commands (the default), and don't have an option to use another (1 in my case), you are sending codes that will unintentially control two Tivo's instead of one. You can then set them (as well as the Tivo remote) to any of the 1-9 codesets.įor me, I have two Tivo's so I use 1 and 2. There are 9 (or 10 depending on how you look at it) of them so that you have have more than one Tivo. While we are on the subject of Tivo codes, Blake, do you know what IR codeset for Tivo you are supporting? While i have not personally used the Toshiba unit, all tivo units seem to use one of these two codes. Infrarae, are you SURE you tried all the Tivo codes available there? (11 are the main ones i think)? I will most likely return it, or ebay it, because it is really not usable for me until the Tivo IR code is there, but it was still a pleasant experience for a cutting edge product. I asked that an option be enabled in the player to use more CPU in exchange for higher quality streams, if I give the player focus, I am happy to give it 75% cpu in exchange for better quality. While I understand that some might want to watch tv and work, my use for the slingbox is going to be in hotel rooms as a remote tivo. This is due to the Pentium M 1.2ghz, but the sling player only uses about 16-20% cpu at any time. The first is that my Toshiba Tivo RS-TX20 is not in the IR db, and the second is that my Dell X1 only allows the stream to get up to 450kps. I've had two issues which I relayed to CS (they were great btw). The concept has been well executed and it is what Tivo should've done three years ago. Got my slingbox 6/30 and it is pretty sweet.
