Slingbox Pro-HD choppy

[tuan209]

Hey Guys,

I have an HTPC (I3-540 with 4 GB of ram) hooked up to an old plasma TV. I am using the IGP and play back for viewing sports (NFL games) is choppy while watching regular HD TV channels is fine.

Is this just how it is with the slingbox or is it the result of the IGP?

What kind of network connection between the HTPC and the Slingbox?

What kind of network connection between the HTPC and the Slingbox?

HTPC download speed is 12 mb and the upload speed of the Slingbox is 2.5 mb.

HTPC download speed is 12 mb and the upload speed of the Slingbox is 2.5 mb.

So the Slingbox connection is via the web, and not your local network? I've had very nice quality slingbox video but only within the local network (4-5mbps). Not sure how great it's going to look via a 2.5mbps (MAX) connection... you'd be lucky to get 1.5-2.0mbps consistently.
