Hi,
I'm trying to remote view. 
I can connect to my box no problem.
When I connect from my hotel room via wireless to the WWW I just get a blank screen, no sound, the notification to say that the system is streaming and the statistics reading of 1Kbps. 
However, when I connect from my temporary office via cabel to the LAN and then WWW I get a picture.
Does anyone know of setting alteration that will allow me to get picture and sound via the wireless connection?

Thanks,
Tom.

Funny, just today I have the same problem. I connect okay I get up to 186/187 k streaming and then nothing happens. I also am connecting wireless. I have this posted in a different topic so I won't get into it to much here, jsut confirming that another wireless user can't get past the slow streaming to get a picture. I don't think it matters but I am over in France at the moment.

Sounds like your hotel room doesn't have the bandwidth to support streaming. Do a speed test and see what your bandwidth is.

Rox / NA9D,
Thank you both for the feedback.  I've performed speed tests using the Rioplex on-line test (158kbps) and the DSLOne online test (37.37kbps)... not exactly lickety-split.  Such diverse results are a little frightening.  I suppose the slower result is probably the more accurate... Undecided... It probably doesn't help that I'm in Mexico and the box is in Ireland.  I feel a hotel switch coming on.
Rgds, Tom.

Okay I feel sooooooo dumb. My daughter checked on the Slingbox and the problem was that the DVR box from the cable company was turned off. Perhaps I accidently turned it off with the remote control shown on my computer monitor or perhaps they had a break in electric but anyway, turned back on the Cable DVR box and I'm back to slinging. Hope this might help other people.
