I've also just discovered that the software constantly communicates the
upload and download speed of the stream to the Slingbox. This means it
automatically compensates the compression rate depending on the quality
of the connection. If I view it on the PC over the local network with a
high bandwidth I get excellent picture quality. When I watch it on the
N73 you can tell that it has a greater compression, but it's not a
problem because the screen is smaller so it still looks great. You
sometimes notice the compression rate changing slightly as you watch so
that it maintains the stream. I've not been using it for long, but I
haven't had it lose the stream at all yet which is quite encouraging.
