Looks Awsome! wonder if the sync between sounds and picture is out though?

 

[The Hoff]

Doubtful, they won't be delivered as different streams, It'll be a single stream so picture/sound should remain synced. Pretty fundamental issue, so I'm sure however they're delivering it (Slingstream) they'll make it as smooth as they can.

Makes me wish I had bought the Slingbox in PC World last week for £50.

 

[The Hoff]

Aye it's now on my shopping list. Hopefully somewhere will go under and I'll relieve them of a cheap one

 

[Daz]

Yea, good stuff this.

I'm tempted too...

 

[*JimmyJ*]

tempted as well, just got play tv from pc world as well. Even though I can watch tv on my psp with the play tv wuld be good to do this on my iPhone. Should I or shouldn't I..........

 

[sneeks]

Indeed you should

 

[ben_p]

Sorry for being thick, but what is this? can i watch tv anywhere in the uk?

 

[sneeks]

Anywhere you can get a 3G signal on your iPhone or a net connection on a laptop/PC.

 

[The Hoff]

You can watch TV, record programmes, watch recorded programmes or just pish people off by changing the TV channel

 

[ben_p]

so all i need to do is download the app? Do i need to buy anything else? is itonly the channels i get at home (dont have sky)

 

[sneeks]

You need a Slingbox unit at home and you connect Sky/Cable/Freeview to it.

Tube stick; Cheaper.

Looks OK but not sure it's as plug and play as Slingbox is and it appears you need to leave your Mac on at all times to make use of it?
