Yeah, you may not need the extra speed, but you'll be glad if you have it.

Arcolaio99, I thought you might have meant that, but I know a lot of people have thought TiVo is a replacement for cable/sateliite, so I wanted to make sure. Ahve fun, you'll lvoe it!

I felt like some fool after reading my original post. I appreciate the help. Hopefully in the near future I can get slingbox and be all set for the NFL season.

Currently watching the Pac-10 Basketball Tournament streaming live (actually slightly behind real-time on my Tivo). Streaming between 600 and 750 Kbps.

Where am I you ask? Hunkered down with my Bose QC2's in the ANA Signet lounge at Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

Awesome.

It's been my experience that Slingbox adds 7-8 seconds of delay, and TiVo itself adds 3-4 seconds of delay because it first writes the digital file as it records the program and you watch the digital file, not live TV. (You might have meant that you are 10-15 minutes behind using TiVo, though :) )

It's like if the sun went out, we wouldn't know for 8 minutes. If your cable goes out or the President gets shot, you wouldn't know it for 11 seconds watching TiVo over a Slingbox.
