So far I've received 2 e-mails from Slingmedia and their last one states:

But the issue is version 1.5 works with networks slightly below 100k so why
can't version 1.6 keep working with networks slightly below 100k?

I wouldn't care if I had to slow down the video updates below 1 FPS to
maintain the audio portion.

All they need to do is allow a Video FPS selection of .5. where ".5" would
mean 1 Frame every 2 seconds. How hard could that be?
