What's The Secret; Where Will You Watch Your Tv - Sling Media SlingPlayer User Manual

What's the secret?

Normally, the quality of audio/video signals that are streamed (that is, travel) over the
Internet is dependent on the quality of all the network connections that are between
your home network and wherever you are with your computer—a few miles, or a few
thousand miles, away. This quality can vary literally moment to moment. This is
because some areas that your audio/video signal travels through might have varying
connection quality, or they might be busier or less busy with other network traffic.
Fortunately, that's not a big challenge for SlingStream™, our patented technology.
SlingStream continuously monitors the quality of your Internet connection.
SlingStream then makes on-the-spot adjustments so that the video stream you're
receiving works within the network capacity (known as bandwidth) that's available at
any given moment. After "optimizing" the connection for a few moments, SlingStream
makes sure that the video you're watching looks and sounds great, without skips or
jumps.

Where will you watch your TV?

Think of all the places that you can watch TV within your home network:
•
While you're in the kitchen, you can follow along with a cooking show.
•
While you're relaxing in your backyard, catch the game.
•
While surfing the web or writing an email, you can keep an eye on the news.
•
When you're relaxing in your favorite chair, watch... well, watch whatever
you like!
With remote viewing, it gets even more exciting—you can watch your TV almost
anywhere. Just imagine all of the places that you can watch your TV:
•
While you're on the other side of the globe in a hotel room with broadband,
you can watch the TV news and sports from your home town.
•
While you're out of town, at an Internet cafe.
•
When you're commuting on a train that offers wireless service.
•
While you're waiting in an airport lounge. If they have broadband, you can
pass the time watching one of your movies.
With your Slingbox, where you watch your TV is now up to you!
