Has anyone used the slingbox with Netvigator? Thinking about tapping into a cable box in the States. How's the connection? Any special set up required? Thanks.

Unfortunately they recommend more than 256kbps upload speed, which seems to be the standard ADSL upload speed, even for if you have a 2 meg link. Unless you've got ADSL2.
I think Slighbox streams video, whereas you probably would be better off downloading it. Firstly becaouse of the timezone difference, probably nothing on TV when you want to watch it in HK, and secondly to get a better bit rate, i.e. quality.
An alternative is to use something like ShowShifter, or Snapstream BeyondTV to record it on a PC you've got in in the U.S., and then download that to your PC in the background. That's what I've got set up and it works very well...
