How do you find the SlingPlayer picture quality? My daughter uses SlingPlayer in Nottingham to watch her SlingBox that is at home in Cheshire. We both have fibre optic broadband so connection speed isn't an issue, but she says the picture at her end is terrible.

I installed TVcatchup on my iPod Touch the other day. It was amusing to watch live TV on the little screen.

Why pay for something when you can get it for free at the two sites stek mentions above?

Google "openproxy" - go to one of the sites that lists the peformance metrics. Then choose a good looking UK one and use this in your IE/Firefox/Chrome proxy settings.

A proxy, or slingbox from a Sky box etc in the UK, or thebox.bz or uknova.com as sort of torrent PVR's!
