We are using the Slingbox Solo and found it brilliant for the laptop and mobileCool, except for Skybox+ It crashed on the Sunday and we rang Sky up and was told we would have to turn off the skybox + from the mains and leave off for 5 minutes, but with us being away 250 miles away can be difficult and was told there was nothing they could doCry. The only hope for us was to have a power cut well after 4 days into the holiday we found the skybox + was up and running and when we got home there was no power cut. You wonder how we would have known, well our touch lamps light up if we have a power cutWink, well it just proves you cant always believe what sky assistants tell you.Tongue out

Cheers

Martin & Jay

A happy slingbox Solo Man

Get a remote power reboot device. You'll thank me for it. Do a search on ebay or google.

Phil are you from the UK? If yes would you have to pay added tax if you buy anything from the USA?

Many thanks

Tax on $70 USD is still less than £350 Right?
