Didn't Work As Well As Claimed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Slingbox was reasonably easy to set up. It unfortunately would not accept Internet via Ethernet cable. I measured wifi speeds at the installation location, and they should have been 3-4x the speed needed for quality streaming. Unfortunately, streaming to any device in any location frequently froze. Also, the quality of the video was clearly inferior to regular cable, and closer to standard definition than even 720p.
