dongle on german account as my uk dongle costs £1.50 per Mb when used outside of the uk. Address is required (but no proof needed), no german bank account as it's pay as you go 4.95€ per 24 hrs usage.
My router in the uk has a 2Mb upload speed, I'm averaging around 500-750 kb/s download on the voafone usb dongle, picture quality is perfectly acceptable.
I also get a perfectly reasonable picture on my Sony Ericsson Xperia phone with just a 3G signal.

I thought the data throughput limits on those things were really low. How much data does it use? I'd imagine lotsOriginally posted by chef View Postyup, I set mine up 2 weeks ago and it works perfectly fine even on a standard usb vodafone dongle. No more crappy german tv

If former, how much does it cost for usage in Germany? If latter, I suppose one needs German address and bank account?Leave a comment:

wiring
Been considering a slingbox but need to know how it is wired:
Does it hard wire to sky and the broadband router, or is it wireless?
If it needs to hardwire to both it may not work for me - sky is downstairs and router is upstairs.
An explanation would be gratefully received.Leave a comment:

Slingbox
I took the plunge and bought one this weekend and I must admit I'm impressed. Worked pretty much out of the box. Sod this iplayer malarky - even if you drop the bitrate down to like 300k a sec it's still watchable. I was quite suprised that in the cr@ppy hotel I'm staying in, my slingbox worked fine but Skype struggled (tried to use skype before I connected to my slingbox)
