I've grown increasingly frustrated by the inconsistent nature of the stream I experience when the SlingCatcher is connected to the Slingbox. While at one moment the stream may exceed 1500-2000Kbps, it may also fall below 500Kbps at another. Given that I'm using powerline adapters and not wi-fi, I'm at a loss to explain this dramatic variation in stream speed from one minute to the next. Any thoughts? I'm not sure if it's a SlingCatcher or Slingbox Classic problem, or if it has to do with my SlingLink adapaters (newish and oldish). Thanks.

I know that my credentials are right because I can use them to attach to the NAS via PC without a problem. Has anyone else been able to connect to a Synology NAS successfully? I have seen a lot of people posting on the Synology forums that they've received a similar error and issue connecting but no resolution thus far. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I thought it might have been a loose connection but not. The weird thing is that if I unplug the scart passthrough from the back of the sky box from where it normally lives and plug it into anything else its in colour. Its the same scart connection, direct to source, but sky, and sky only is in B&W. Its fine on the TV above the Sky box, but the one plugged into slingcatcher is B&W, but only when on Sky. Setup is Slingcatcher, and solo (UK). thanks for any thoughts!

Why aren't they even trying? Even if hardware compatibility were an issue, they could beef up their insides and I'm sure NetFlix would gladly allow Sling to license the player like everyone else does. Why are they pissing away this opportunity. It's nice that I can "project" from my PC, but I'm about to buy a Roku to eliminate the middle man. It's too bad because I like my catcher....

I have a slingbox pro hd and absolutely love it. However, when using the slingplayer on my mac it sometimes freezes up or skips frames. My question is if I got a sling catcher, would I see a noticable difference? Right now my mac is connected to my TV so i can project the image to my TV. it works about 80% of the time without any frame skips, but to have a decent product, wondering if the sling catcher might have something different that would show nothing but a smooth picture? Any feedback is appreciated S SlingCatcher Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:16:18 GMT Sats http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/41762/Slingcatcher-vs-Sling-Player/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/41720/slingcatcher-can-no-connect-to-the-network-error/?src=category_rss As of Friday evening my slingcatcher was working fine. saturday morning I got an error stating "slingcatcher can not connect due to network error." I tried disconnecting everything and resetting the slingcatcher. Nothing worked so far. I'm really getting frustrated because it's only 6 months old. I need help ASAP. My slingbox is in the States and I'm in Japan. I can still watch slingbox on my computer. I have MAC computer.

I have a slingbox pro hd connected home and using a slingcather to watch it when i stay abroad half of the year in europe. I get speeds around 2000kbps but every once in a while the picture freezes for some second. I have a linksys router. In your opinion which router fits better the slingcatcher? any suggestions? anything special I need to set on my router for better speeds? thank you for your time SlingCatcher Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:26:02 GMT fanis http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/41602/What-is-the-best-router-for-using-with-slingcatcher/#discussion?src=category_rss
