Seems like the computer program locks up. I have tried changing some of the settings in SlingPlayer, but with any better results. Will sometimes lock up every couple of minutes. Other times goes an hour or so. Can change to my son's SlingBox or 'X' out of mine and bring it back up and it plays again.

Wilson said: blueshockey, Sounds like some Windows application or service running that interferes with the SlingPlayer software. It could be virus protection/firewall software. If you can check what other programs are running in the background at the same time with SlingPlayer

I have firewall turned off for Launch SlingPlayer. Virus protection and firewall are the only 2 programs running.

Both picture and audio lock up. Just leaves a picture on the screen.

Have read reviews on Best Buy and seems to be others with this problem. Tech support says "bandwidth" is the problem. I am at 3gps download and 500 kbps upload on my connection. That should be enough. Anyone ever fixed this problem?

I fixed most of my problem by buying a D-link 625 router and adding a 512mb memory card to my laptop (that gave me 1gb memory). Have had the SlingBox Solo on for about 5 hours now and it hasn't locked up.  However, it does still slow down from 410kbps to 88kbps and then back up a ways. I have had to "X" off and restart SlingBox to bring speed back up. If I wait long enough, it will come up on it's own after a few minutes.

I used to have an older Linksys WRT54G, Version 1 Router. Tech support is telling me it's in my DSL speed.  

My son has an older version of SlingBox and it runs pretty well on my computer. It does slow down tfrom 420kbps to about 190kbps. I may just have to live with what I've been able to achieve.
