Award winning Sling technology moves toward hi-def for video access possibilities around the world. Recently, I took a trip to Africa to do some work with one of the communities there. As interesting as it was, I missed home. With SlingBox in my notebook, and the community's DSL connection, I was able to receive, view, and listen to my TV from the USA. It's like a taste from home! My journeys wouldn't be as complete and as comfortable without SlingBox. Their new SOLO makes any trip anywhere better and easier.

paired w/ direct tv and Symbian phone.......2007-12-28
awesome awesome device.
i hooked it up using a direct tv box and started watching on my laptop wireless computer and on my phone at work.
it took about 30 mins of set up because i had to physically connect the router to my laptop while the slingbox updated its firmware. Then I had to find the Slingbox ID (which is under the Edit portion of the Slingbox directory for your slingbox). And of course, install the slingbox app on the computer.
it tired to detect and automatically configure my router but i had the UPnP feature turned off so I had log onto the router and turn that on before it started working outside of my network.
i primarily use the slingobx on my Nokia N75 on a 3G connection (w/ the unlimited data plan) w/c makes it glitchfree. I tried the MobiTV app on the phone and that was a disaster. Not only do you have to pay $10/mnth but the 'live' tv had about a 5 second gap between the audio and the video. The news audio wasn't in sync with the video and to top it off, it was very pixelated. You wouldn't be able to read the bottom news ticker AT ALL.
On the slingbox mobile, however, it is crystal clear and in SYNC. To top it off, when I'm watching using the EDGE network, it would constantly buffer every 30-40secs BUT it would continue the audio AND video to where it stopped so you don't miss a second! Plus, it's crystal clear and everything on the phone screen is VERY readable. And it can be viewed FULL screen w/c dispalys the video sideways! And unlike MobiTV, it doesn't keep asking every 20mins if you want to keep watching and if you dont' respond it turns off. Slingbox keeps streaming until you exit the app.
I was initially very skeptical at the viability of the 'internet tv' based on my experience with MobiTV but this is the real deal. An actual TV broadcast on your phone/ computer and you have complete control of the channels! Everything from accessing the tv guide to changing settings!
The only con I have for now is the fact that if you're watching at home, you wouldn't know somebody is watching using the slingbox until they change the channel. I wish they had a feature that indicated it's in use on the home tv.
Also, you can't use the slingbox in two locations at one time. So if I was watching on my phone, I can't use the computer to watch it simultaneously. Only one at a time is permitted.
And since my phone is a flip phone, the app closes when I close the phone. I wish it didn't. But then again I'm guessing it's memory intensive so that might be a good idea. But I can't listen to the XM channel with the phone open (the N75 is huge when flipped open.
And finally, I don't like that the phone app is not free (while the comp app is free). At least there's a 30day trial. But I guess they have to make their money somewhere.
Small gripes.
Just make sure you have broadband (both ways) to enjoy this device. So if you're on the edge about buying... don't! Go out and get it!
Fantastic and amazing.......2007-12-27
I purchased the slingbox solo after reading much about it. I have HD and this allows me to access and stream HD channels without having to buy any extra pieces. Set up was quick, as Slingbox walks you through everything step by step. The only problem I ran into was setting up remote viewing. I clicked on chat, and typed back and forth with a customer service rep. She could not solve the problem and asked if I would let her take control of my computer. I hated doing that but let her. She was not able to resolve the problem, but by watching her click around, I figured out what was wrong. I thanked her and hung up. I took control of my desktop and had the remote viewing part up and running quickly. I wrote this review to explain what happened with my setup and help others too.
I have a wired/wireless router that assigns ip addresses. I had changed my router to have a very uncommon ip address. The slingbox picked that up, but assigned itself an address that ended in 273 if I remember correctly. My router assigned the slingbox an ip address which ended differently. Once I chose manual set up during the slingbox walkthrough and typed over the ip address the slingbox had during set up everything was up and running. I guess I just had a fussy router.
Slingbox is amazing. We went home for Christmas and accessed our Slingbox easily from a coffeehouse and from my parents house. My husband installed mobile software on his blackberry and was watching a game while we hit the sales December 26. Needless to say we were both happy to be grabbing great bargains while able to check the score and see to a favorite team at the same time. I highly recommend this product.
In the fall, our oldest heads to college. Now we can tape his favorite shows on the DVR and he can still watch them from his lap top. Great product.
Sling Box Solo.......2007-12-14
I bought this so I could watch the Sacramento Kings while on the road and TV on the computers in my house. It was easy to setup on the home computer and the laptop and at work. Just keep in mind your cable or satellite box connects to this device and then connects via Ethernet cable so they need to be close (I routed the wire through the wall to the den). If that's not possible you need to spend more money on a wireless solution. So far it works great on the home network but the frames are a little jerky at work (but our broadband is inadequate for the number of employees using it). Also you need adequate upload speeds on your home connection to make this work. Lastly, it will broadcast the HD channels but not in hi-def (actually a bit less than regular def). But it fills a need and has no monthly fees. I am leaving for a month in London starting December 15 so will update later on after I use in the the UK.
slingbox purchase.......2007-12-11
The set up was complicated but the support is great. Once it was set up, it proves to be all i asked for and more!!
Innovative product with no monthly fee.......2007-12-06
These days I don't expect much to be free. Well finally here is a product that you buy once and you have no recurring fee. This product follows through on all of its promises. You can watch your cable TV anywhere you can get through a firewall on the Internet (which isn't everywhere). The video quality is not HDTV by Slingbox's own admission; nevertheless, it's pretty good quality. The cable and phone companies must hate this product because they don't get to charge twice for the same service - BooHoo!. If you feel bad, you can always send me a check. I despise TIVO and DVRs that want me to pay for the box and then charge a monthly fee forever. I like the Slingbox much better because I can access all of my premium channels and On-Demand for free. I suspect somebody will figure out a way to charge for this device under the guise of copyright infringement or some other digital rights claim. This is a good device for a fair price and has no recurring fee. BTW: I strongly suggest you use a hardwire to connect this to the Internet (or your router). Instead of spending $100 for the Slinglink or something similar, buy a Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable for under $10 and forget the headaches involved with powerline or wireless Internet connections that are hard to setup and are problematic.

Product Description
Innovative and highly practical, our vent mount includes both the cradle and mount at an excellent price. A lot of our customers worry about security. The vent is a great location for your Nuvi. It keeps it within arm's reach and out of site from the bad guys.
The cradle is custom manufactured for the C3xx Series and fits snuggly around the GPS while allowing full access to the controls. The ports can be fully accessed. Garmin doesn't make a vent mount but we do!
Customer Reviews:
DO NOT BUY.......2007-06-17
The vent mount is junk. It contains two plastic flimsy pieces that attach to the vent and could very easily break. It is so big and heavy that I did not even attempt to put my Garmin system in it, because it would have fallen to the floor in seconds. I strongly advise that you consider other options before purchasing this product, because you will be sorry if you waste your money on this. Luckily, I was able to return mine for a refund. Minus the shipping, I wasn't out anything. Now I've purchased the garmin dash mount instead.
Effective... but can use some mods........2007-05-17
I have a Garmin C320, and I'm sure most C320 owners already know that the suction cup mount can be a bit useless.
This kit is actually built up from various Ram mount components (pretty good quality). It was relatively easy to put together, and is composed of 3 subcomponents: the vent clip assembly(which has an adjustable ball joint), the ball-joint-to-clip assembly, and the C320-device-to-ball-joint assembly. Putting these 3 together took about 2 minutes and the result is a vent mount for your C320. Thanks to the two separate ball joints, the device has a very high degree of movement.
Now for the bad: Since the C320 device clip is OEM, it lacks the electrical mating point that allows you to use a charger when this thing is in its mount. If the device is fully charged, you're a-ok. If its not, it could be problematic.
Here is what I did (try at your own risk, you will void your warranty and possibly break your original mount as well as the OEM one): Remove the original ball-joint-mate assembly from the original Garmin mount (so whats left is the device clip and the ball joint mounted to it), shave about 3mm off each side of the Ram mount ball-joint-mate assembly so it can mate with the Garmin ball... and then put these together! Now, you get the OEM device clip with charge assembly, the Ram ball-joint-mate assembly, and the vent clip assembly.
With this modification you lose a bit of the freedom of movement the original ball joint or the original Ram mount provided... but you get full-charge capability.
you want no regrets? you don't order this........2007-01-19
arrived in a timely fashion but with NO instructions, NO packin' slip. This mount, not from Garmin, has too many parts to assemble and unlike Garmin's Dash Mount, cannot easily be removed when parked and so can easily be seen from the street. Requested return authorization from seller, I got NO response.
