I'm a long time Slingbox Pro owner.  Always used it around the house and out by pool with my laptop on my LAN.  Never really needed remote viewing.  Well a little wife trouble has me away from home quite often.  No problem I thought, I'll use my Slingbox and remote viewing capability.  Got it all configured up at home.  Took the laptop with me to my get away place for when the wife is upset place.  Fired up the slingbox application.  Hey it connected, and  it's streaming, wow there's a picture.  Man that picture looks crappy.  Streaming at about 300kbs, hard to watch.  When I try to use remote to control the DVR box at home it freezes up almost everytime, worse than that, about every 6 minutes the screen goes out and I get a message about router/firewall.  The message makes no sense to me since it was already streaming.  Very disappointed.  First time I really needed it to work remotely and it fails miserably.  My home network upload max is about 475kbs, but Im not getting that on remote viewing.  Be warned, remote viewing is not very good, unless I suppose you have much greater upstream kbs from the Slingbox.  If I dont know what the heck Im talking about and anyone can tell me how to make this work better, I would be grateful.
