I got a SlingBox for xmas.

I set it up today, I go to Uni in Manchester, and my SlingBox is down in London.

It’s awesome! I was so suprised at how well it worked!

I have crap upstream internet at work (even below the minimum requirements for the SlingBox) and it still works ok. The quality is a bit crappy as I only have like 240mps Up at home, getting it upgraded soon so the quality should be better.

The controls are pretty responsive too, I was expecting it to take like 5 seconds to respond, but it does it in about 1, which is quality.

Oh and for those that don’t know what a SlingBox is: [http://www.slingmedia.com](http://www.slingmedia.com)
