In other words can i dodge my tv licence fee?

Oh and whats the quality like all you americans who have this, i cant say current streaming media is all that, and upload speeds here in the uk are simply abominable.]]>May 30th 2006 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/May 30th 2006 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/

so if you're working away this summer you can still watch the world cup as long as you have an internet connection

or, if you're stuck in a hotel room with a crap TV, you can connect to your slingbox and watch whatever your partner's watching at home on Sky or watch something else on freeview etc etc]]>May 30th 2006 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/

PAL is much, much better than NTSC (your standard broadcast and DVD standard).

I do think technically you can dodge the TV licencing fee with this. Basically what they look for is a tiny signal that is produced from tuners that recieve a TV signal. If you don't have one, they won't even come near.

If you're looking for better upload, i can STRONGLY recommend Be broadband http://bethere.co.uk
They offer 24Mbit/1.3Mbit. The extra upload really makes such a difference in my experience.
It's only £25/month too. Availability is a little limited though atm, check it out.

The only thing to remember is that as a plan for a student to watch dad's telly via the university network this will probably not work. Most university networks are firewalled to blazes and all the ones we've tried (and we have tried a few) have not worked. This is also true of networks at the office.

But for watching telly round the house it is wonderful.]]>Jun 19th 2006 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/30/slingbox-released-in-uk/I use a £10 scart switcher from Maplin makes everything tidy, then I take the output from my scart switcher tot he video sender. OR just take the signal from your DVD-RW/Freeview/NTL/SKY Box to the Video Sender. My YAMADA HARDDISC DVD-RW has a CABLE TV TUNER built in which is handy for sending the FREE CABLE TV signals that exist out to the video sender or capture card. just a thought.]]>Jul 7th 2006 4:37PM
