I've been asking on here for a while various ways of getting UK TV in Belgium as I am missing the racing. I was going to come back for Chelters but you reckon I can solve the problem with one of these babies? Sounds good

I've told you more than once that I have some knowledge on these things ...did I not give you an Email address so you could get in touch. |

You did Tambers but it was late at night and the next day I couldn't find the thread. I have print outs of some of your advice but frankly I am such a dope that I am reluctant to embark on a technological journey that I know will raise my blood pressure.Put it up again now and i'll write it down.
Whats your take on the slingbox? |

By:
chill dobbo, didn't we sort out your freeview dvd tuner as well? or was that someone else? :|

By:
No that wasn't me. It sounds too complicated

The Slingbox is a great idea...I have used one for about 3 years.
The prerequisites are;- 1. Good High speed Broadband at your end. 2.A family member or a friend in the UK with Good Broadband and a Slingbox. 3.The UK component would need a SKy or other provider Set Top Box with a dual tuner or two STB's so the signal going to you wil not affect their viewing. If this can be arranged you will get very good qualty pics and the whole Channel group that the UK person receives. To sweeten the deal for the UK person you could also buy a Slingbox and "sling" over TV Belgique etc. |

I have a house in the UK with sky & broadband. I rent a house in Brugge with broadband. I have a Mac ,a PC and three laptops in Brugge so I am sorted?

By:
Sounds like you tick all the boxes.
Should you need to reset the box in the UK...I presume you have someone to do that (very rarely needs to be done). Go for it. |
|
By:
No I dont have someone to do that. ALERT! ALERT!
Also at the other end. Brugge. Will it be computer specific. ie: Just one. And again: Do I just buy the box marked Slingbox or are there leads and toggles or steam powered flanges that I need as add ons? |
|
By:
Like I said it rarely if ever needs to be reset but say things don't kick in after a Power Outage eg. it might be a problem.
You can access the Slingbox from any computer anywhere in the world as long as you have Broadband Access. You don't need to buy any add ons although since I bought mine there are more advanced units available like the Slingcatcher ...but don't ask me about those..I'm happy with what I've got. |

Thank you TM.

Can you use this to view foreign channels showing football etc? I guess someone would have to be 'slinging' the signal?
