I have a Slingbox connected to DirecTV/TiVo. My DSL is standard. I only occasionally have trouble using the Slingbox. When I do, it's usually that my hotel broadband has reached the end of the 24-hour billing period.

With no monthly fees, it's a great deal. The other thing to consider is that if they wanted to, they could easily attach a monthly fee for on future Slingbox sales once they have market penetration.

Bottom line: very happy with Slingbox.
