Default Slingbox on 3

I feel I have to tell everyone how amazing this technology is. Just set
up the Slingbox that came with my X-Series Gold account and after a
little trouble configuring my router (it couldn't automatically set it
up) it's all up and running.

I've hooked it up to my Sky box and now I can watch any of the channels
on my N73 where ever I am. The video and audio quality is exceptional
and changing channels is as easy as entering the channel number on the
keypad. You can also set up shortcuts to favorite channels, but it's
easy enough to just load and browse the Sky EPG using the joystick
(although text is a little hard to read).

Just a couple of things would make it better, an option to play the
video in wide screen mode and an option to view the video stream full
screen like you can with Orb videos.

I think it's still in beta at the moment, and the website claims they
are constantly making improvements, so maybe this will be sorted out
soon. But even in its current state the whole thing works extremely well
and is well worth the money!
