Echo comments about separate PAL area.  Also, when Slingmobile comes to the UK there's sure to be a whole host of issues that pertain to the UK networks. Any news on Sling for Palm OS or do I have to upgrader my phone to Windows?

 Hi, I justbought the SLingbox today, WOW, looking at the firmware it says 1.0.0. dated 08/10/2006. Is this the latest firmware? If not where can I download the latest firmware please ? Matt

sorry about that,ddidnt know!does slingbox support HDTV? and can you fully control your sky + box(record etc) ok with the sling? until sky moves my current digibox(its 20 odd feet away from my router currently) on Friday i have my sling rigged up to a frieview box.I tried it a couple of days ago remotely at my mates house and was fine.For what its worth i also tried it with ethernet connection and i must say the streaming through the ethernet connection was great.i guess the whole point of the sling is to access wirelessly but if you are in an office or somewhere static where you are near an ethernet point i would highly reccommend it.

Actually I have two :)

 I suspect that my PAL slingbox is the first UK registered one ( given the problems I had to even get it registered. )

 It works fine, but I don't like the encryption, and in my experience sling are not the most responsive of companies. I have loads of ( sensible ) enhancements to propose if I were to be sure that someone was listening.

Yay, thanks to bounderboy for pushing the envelope.....

Rgds,

I'm no expert (EXSPURT), because an "EX" is a has been and a "SPURT" is a drip under pressure.

Actually mine is an NTSC Slingbox bought from ebay a month or so before the PAL version came out in the UK. I read all the horror stories about probable lack of availability of the UK boxes, and decided I didn't want to wait any longer.

My Slingbox works very well with my Sky+ box plugged into the A/V inputs. I obviously don't get the DTT channels available on the UK version, but I don't think that's a great loss (we don't have a roof aerial at home, so it would be a hassle to set it up to receive those channels in any case).  I also can't access a lot of the recorded programme functions on the Sky+ box, but, again that's no real loss, as most of it is full of stuff the rest of the family record, and I have given up using it as I never get to watch any of my stuff. I use a DVD recorder for anything I really want to keep. My main reason for having the Slingbox is for live sport, particularly cricket, so I'm not really bothered about remote access to recorded programmes.

It has been interesting to read some of the posts which are adamant about the NTSC boxes not working in Europe. The A/V inputs are not fussy about what form the video source is, provided you don't unplug it while the Slingox is switched on, in which case it reverts to NTSC and you get a black and white picture with lines across it when you re-connect.
