Can someone from Slingmedia comment on this.

Will a classic also support PAL?

Subbu said: Hey Guys, The other day one of my friend brought me an Slingbox Pro from USA. I live in Chennai, India, where you have the limited cable TV channels, if not using one of the setupboxes from TataSky, Dishtv, or even Sun Networks.  I hooked up my slingbox using the supplied splitter. ie. the Main cable wire directly goes to the one end of the splitter and the out of the other two  1 goes to my Slingbox and other directly to the TV. I used the sling supplied coax cable to connect to slingbox from the splitter. Once this setup is done, I went ahead and added the slingbox to my wireless SMC Router. Once this setup in place, i Switched on the slingbox, router, and started configuring the Slingbox. To do this, I have already downloaded the latest UK Version of the slingplayer software(1.41). Once this sw is installed, it immediatly recognized the slingbox from my network.  Then during the Configuration screens, i have selected co-axi cable, next you can select either analog arial or cable with out cablebox.. either of them worked. Well offcourse, I have selected 'India" from the country list. Then started scanning the channels, to my astonishment my slingbox was able to scan 45 channels (these is the no of channels you get when you using the basic cable tv, i guess, chennaits know this).  save the settings and you are done. Now i started my slingplayer and i was able to watch all the programs. One question still puzzles me here is "I KNOW FROM SLINGBOX PRO SPEC THAT ITS INTERNAL TV TUNER IS BASED ON NTSC. IN INDIA WE USE PAL".  But who bother, as long as it works. Now I am a happy slingbox owner in chennai. my next step is to set this up in internet. Am waiting from my Internet connection from state owned BSNL. I am not sure when are they going to give me the broadband connection.. counting fingers.... I will post, some pictures of my slingbox running SUN TV, JAVA TV, RAJ TV, ETC.. soon. Based on my experience, i can say that the slingbox pro works in India. so if any of you guys waiting to buy i will say go ahead and do it.. only one catch.. its your money.!!!! Feel free to contact me, in case you need any help regarding my slingbox setup Subbu.

Intelsat 10 68.5E  DSTV Bouquet and FTA channels all in PAL. But I also have another satellite at 146E Agila2 Dream TV thats broadcast in NTSC. Then there's the FTA content on Asiasat3 105.5E Also PAL.

Any Irdeto receiers that I use have both PAL and NTSC outputs or switching NTSC PAL. You can use the receivers TV Output the have the receiver canvert NTSC to PAL or Pal to NTSC.

If Evolution Works, Why So Many Idiots?

thx Subbu

I will ask Ravi to post his trials with slingbox installation

 But I would appreciate if you can provide any contact reference of yourself or, still better, anybody in Hyderabad who knows about slingbox installation (maybe Ravi can call you from Hyd and do the installation with your advice)

When I was guiding Ravi to install slingbox (classic PAL UK version), he was able to get the software identify the slingbox, even scan the (90-odd) channels, but the pictures received were all ghosty in nature & upside down. And, importantly, the router had no advance settings on port forwarding / UPnP that would be necessary to setup the remote viewing
