I rarely used it after a while... just didn't have a need. So I traded it for something else, or favors, or... 
I did watch football on it from Amsterdam once... That was cool. |

The odd line breaks of your post had me wondering... well, why they were there. Like a chain letter that had been mangled due to being forwarded too many times, I thought.
So I Googled the text from this post you were apparently so confident in making..
Funny. Comes up with something very similar from a user comment on a cNet review of Western Digital's HD gadget...

The exact quote...

Interesting. Same typo on "their", similar random capitol letters... Coincidence?

I can't believe I didn't get an "0WN3D" for darthwroth's post...
To skar... The slingbox stays at home when you travel, and you basically log in to it remotely. It has to stay put in order to be connected to your cable TV. Could be a bunch of variable that could cause problems, most are probably due to slow upload speeds at home or poor connections where ever they had traveled. |
