RE: Which Gadget for Xmas ?

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just got a Slingbox Classic from PC World yesterday, in the hope
that I'l=
l
be able to use it to watch UK telly whilst I'm in the US for 3 months.  So
far I'm impressed....most reviews seem to suggest that no matter which box
you get, the quality of the stream is the same, so I opted for the cheapest
one, which considering it has a Freeview decoder on-board seems quite a
goo=
d
deal.=20

I've only been able to use it over the network so far, which has been
perfect (I use it for TiVo & the on-board Freeview), but as I've only
got a
256 uplink speed, the off-site experience will be very different I
suspect.=

Can't get the Symbian client working on my E61i though, it just crashes
(no=
t
that's I'd ever use it, but it does have that 'cool factor').
