topfield Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Don't keep us in suspense........HOW?? I suspect you're about the only one in suspense. Sharing a legal service like Cable via Slingbox for renumeration sounds a bit dodgy too. See "Fair Use". The service in the UK is free ...thats why its called Freeview !!

h90 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Always glad to be of service. Sorry to have kicked you off prematurely. If anyone out there is interested in watching US television in Thailand (or anywhere you go in the world with a 256kbps or higher connection - airports / hotels), send me a PM and I'll let you check it out for 24 hours no charge. forgot me?

Completely clueless on what you're babbling on about; this thread is about U.S. televison and accessing/viewing programs here in Thailand? With this Slingbox contraption do you have to watch the shows live, i.e. 9 AM here on say a Tuesday, for a Monday 9 PM show? Can you stop/start viewing? I am pretty much up to date on Heroes (S01E17; Season 1, Episode 17 aired Feb 26), Numb3rs, House M.D. (on a bit of a hiatus), Rome, Grey's Anatomy, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, Studio 60 (on life support?), Scrubs, Shark, The Wire. Heroes is one of the best shows I've seen, so far. Loved the cameo by Stan Lee last week (think X-Men). Anxiously awaiting the return of 'Entourage'. I sometimes miss the commercials; never thought I'd say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo siam Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 "I sometimes miss the commercials; never thought I'd say that." Strange you would say that, I really started to enjoy Heroes but stopped watching it because of the commercial break very 5 minutes - totally ruins the atmosphere and you end up kind of forgetting what just happened. I will wait till its out on DVD and then watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do however have to plan ahead and record the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongView Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi. To clarify, the Slingbox is connected to a TiVo (DVR) which allows you to watch the TV shows anytime (pause, stop, rewind, fast forward...etc). H90, i emailed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jookster Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I can't imagine the quality of a slingbox being too good? Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongView Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 email me at [email protected] and you can test it out yourself. I think it's quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclaryjr Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I can't imagine the quality of a slingbox being too good? Am I right? I tried Strongview's Slingbox for awhile and I was pretty amazed at the quality of the video. I was watching on a fast cable box connection from the U.S. so it that may have had a lot to do with it. I also tried viewing it on a pocket pc phone but had no luck making a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
