I live in Singapore and thinking about purchasing SlingBox Solo.  I will install the SlingBox Solo at my brother’s house in the US. He presently has Charter cable service (expanded basic) and Bell South DSL (1mbps/256kbps). Yea, I know it sucks, but I'm willing to pay to upgrade his end so that I can watch some real football.Hopefully someone can help me with the following questions and concerns:1. Is 256kbps upload speed suitable? If not, options to upgrade to cable are 5Mbps/384kbps, 10Mbps/1Mbps. Which is recommended?2. Because Singapore is 12+ hr time difference from the US I will have to purchase a DVR. I've contacted Charter, the cable service provider and asked if their DVR (Motorola 6416 or 3416) is compatible with SlingBox and they never heard of SlingBox. I checked SlingBox list of compatible DVR's but could not find this exact model number.  3. Must I use the cable service providers DVR or can I use another manufactures compatible DVR? Any recommendations? The reason I ask this is, the cable company said in order for another DVR to be compatible with their digital cable service, their cable cards would have to be installed in the DVR. This obviously brings up other issues such as finger pointing should any support issues arise. This endeavor is turning out to be a real pain in the butt and very costly. If anyone in Sling World has faced these issues and or has any suggestions I really would appreciate it.Thanks,Singapore Slinging
