Echostar, the time on the setup box is incorrect, its saying 16:40 which is stopping me choose to watch things 'live' it only allows me to set reminders.

Hi Gary, I just tried it this morning and would echo other comments.  Picture was OK, a bit blurry round the edges.  Looks good though!

As a further thought to the blurry picture when you are setting the programme using the reality remote you are normally hunched over the computer like neanderthal man as you would when using your computer.
Sit back about six feet, more if your eyesight allows and you will find quite an improvement in perceived picture quality.
Garry....if you get this off the ground do you have any idea of costs? :)

SLINGBOX HOSTING


Thank you all for your reports, I have to do alot more test yet ie so you can watch on a conventional tv this would improve the quality and to record Lets see if we can get the required bandwidth to make this a viable project Cost,service provider premises here in the uk for the project  iwould like to do this in turkey but i do not belive that the ptt can supply the upload bandwidth and uploading the streams via satellite Can Be expensive, we will have to see

for people intrested i will post on the forum asap, you will find it will go quite for a while as i have alot of work to do.
I shall be closing the stream down to night midnight uk time

Thank you all once again


Gary ;)

Hi All

Iam back in fethiye now and have done some more test it seems that some of you have not optomized the settings for the player hence the reports please try the parameters below.

I am Thinking of starting A Sling Box Host, This Means that you will be able to get uk tv Via the internet. I am testing a stream at this moment for those interested you can for free access the stream we are sending.
We are streaming over 260 tv and radio BBC1 ITV Sky Sports Etc All I Need is your feed back regarding quality you will have full control of the box. The movie channels require a pin which is 1234 please do not abuse give other people a chance to see this otherwise I will close it.

The test will be for 1 week, you will need to down load the sling box Desk top player
For windows and mac down load from this page http://downloads.slingmedia.com/go/desktop-uk

Alias Is Garys
Finder Id is 6BCBF639-A513-7F4296D9-AE40-66A9914E
Password is Fethiye
Administrator is NOT Ticked

Get Player Screen up

Click on player

SlingPlayer options

Tick automatic

Optimizations

Tcick the next 5 boxes below

Then Apply

Then Ok

Go back to options

Encoding

video bit rate=704

video frames per sec = fullrate

I frame interval =5

video smoothness = sharp

Video resolution = 640x480

Audio bit rate stays the same

Then Apply

Then ok

then go to view on player tool bar

go to view

go to wide screen

then in the same drop down go to fit tv to player


that should be it




At this moment I do not have the time to answer questions, if you have a problem working the sling box media please read the information on their web site but would like the feed back good/bad alike Please not that only one person @one time can access this demo please be patience


Thanks have fun

can some one put this back in to the right topic tnx

Hi Gary.
Downloaded Slingplayer which took about 15 mins, followed instructions, except password is fethiye with small  f. Incredible reception, although a bit slow and fractured when changing channels etc. Plugged in my 80cm HD LCD TV and even better. Especially if you sit back. How long is it likely to be before you can set up Host?
Regards
Phill
