"You need to be a network expert to get this to work!"
What I like:
Nice idea
What I don't like:
Extremely difficult to set up
Review:
This is a great idea in principle, but a nightmare in reality. After spending hours attempting to set this up, I couldn't get this Slingbox to be viewable remotely. I found the instructions extremely poor and basically impossible unless you have good knowledge of networking. Not recommended for average computer users.
