Hi Im now in the US

Can I access your slingbox?

What do I need to do?

I am willing to share - I just want to know if it will work before buying a slingbox

Thanks

Macky

this isnt even fair trade, my friend. =) I have 80 channels, and you only have ???

Stefan:

I'm VERY interested in your offer! I have Dish Network with the AT180 package of channels, including the Chicago locals.

I can hook you up with a pvr, so you can record stuff and watch it at a more convenient time.

If you are interested, email me at shanks909@gmail.com

It's a pretty touchy issue. There's been quite a bit of debate on page 2 of this thread:

http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/10730/?page=2

I myself would like to know how much more about ways to solve the problem versus just saying no. Stefan P if you are still interested in swapping, I would be more than happy to do it. Please feel free to contact me at afissucks@comcast.net.

A side note, after reading the link to the other post I am going with the laywer and his point of view as he has the expertise to evaluate this from all angles versus the cable installer guy who is the company man.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

One way around the issue of 'theft' http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/t... might be this:

Although I have cable in the UK, I could install an additional dish and set top box, which I could then connect to SlingBox. A guy in the US would be able to order a Sky viewing card via a friend or relative's UK address - it would belong to him, and he would be paying for it.

Sky's position on grey market viewing cards is more relaxed than its counterparts in the US and Canada - see http://www.legal-rights.org Tens of thousands of people in Spain alone watch Sky, even though officially speaking, they shouldn't. Not only that, but many also watch it on communal systems, which is basically theft as the satellite installer gets one viewing card for an entire block and feeds the signal into everyone's home.

Another possibility in the UK might be digital terrestrial TV. Freeview isn't subsription-funded - all you need is a £40 box, and you get the UK terrestrial channels that Stefan P listed. I think many people who'd like UK TV via SlingBox would be more keen on getting the five main terrestrial channels than on Sky (even in Europe, as the BBC now uses a much weaker satellite signal) but if they want Sky channels (particularly Sky Sports) then Freeview won't be enough.

I have sky tv, all packages including all sky sports.

im looking to possibly trade with someone from the US who has ABC etc.
