“Will it sling to a PS3 connected to a TV? I have DirecTV at my primary address and want to sling that content to a vacation home. At that home, I have a PS3 connected to my TV. The PS3 is connected to the internet by wifi. Another question I have is what minimum download speed at my sling TO location is necessary to have decent video quality? The internet options at that vac home are limited to mediocre dsl unfortunately. Thanks!”

The PS3 does not support slingbox playback.. your best alternative is a tablet/laptop/desktop with a hdmi out port to hook up to your tv...... the download speed isn't nearly as important as your upload speed from the location your slingbox is physically at..... you will get a great picture at and broadband connection (even slow DSL) as long as your upload speed from you slingbox is good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While we don't currently support streaming to the PS3, there are several media streaming devices that should work for you. Take a look at our product page for more information: http://www.slingbox.com/go/spcd The minimum average upload speed required in the Slingbox location is 2 Mbps for HD streaming, and 600 Kbps for SD. To stream successfully in the remote location, you'd need to maintain those same speeds. However, higher bitrates are always better.
