I'm able to catch 3-5 Mbit speeds in a small Danish town with only 30.000 inhabitants.]]>Feb 15th 2010 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/Feb 15th 2010 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/
You're making ignorant comments. Do you realize that the bandwidth usage on Sling depends on the upstream speed of your home network? That means less than 400K for most people. Sling 3G was the victim of perception problem. Many people made false comments without owning Sling box or had any real clue about Sling. Even if you have mega bits upstream, Sling will never utilize it.

Looks like the account server got blasted when the update got released too, with everyone wanting to try it out on 3G... lol, guess I'll have to wait until to later to check it out :(]]>Feb 15th 2010 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/Feb 15th 2010 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/
It works fine on my Mac, but the client I'm running there doesn't require the stupid login to their servers like the latest windows versions..........I really hated it when they added that crap.

I agree that the account stuff is a bit of an annoyance, but it is also very nice to not have to remember that stupid Slingbox ID every time you add the software to a new piece of equipment, only a simple login that will then retrieve that information for you. However, I just dug up the ID from my Mac and added to my 3GS and it does work very well. Works very well over 3G, almost no noticeable loss from picture I get over wifi. ]]>Feb 15th 2010 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/slingplayer-mobile-v1-2-enables-3g-streaming-on-the-iphone-now/
