The product does what it says it does, but dont be fooled into thinking that it is as good as watching TV. I have icredibly fast internet speed, but even it has limits.

I owned the original slingbox. I always loved it. I have found that viewing with my connection outside of my home network that it is essentially like watching a DVD with this product. The quality is pretty high. If you have a widescreen laptop this product is the ultimate partner for it. It is a big improvement over... more info
