Slingbox Solo

As high as the streaming quality is inside and outside the LAN, the Slingbox SOLO provides a resolution of only up to 640 x 480 pixels. Even if you have a Gigabit network at home, you cannot raise the quality any higher than this. It would be nice to see an increased support with future firmware updates, especially because the Slingbox SOLO also accepts HD input. What is just does right now is render the quality down.
The Slingbox SOLO is available in the US for US$ 179.99, in Canada for CAD$ 199.99 and the UK for £ 129.99. If you happen to go on business and leisure trips often, the box is worth every penny because it gives you mobility even while being connected to a TV.
You can obtain the latest firmware for your Slingbox SOLO by downloading the latest version of the SlingPlayer software found online. The versions prior to 2.0 include the firmware as part of the download. The ones above 2.0 check for firmware updates over the web automatically. You can also use a different IR control cable with the Slingbox. You may just need to buy a 1/8″ to 3/32″ adapter to fit in the IR port. Just make sure that the cables are properly placed or you could just get one audio channel. Also make sure that your computer is set to output sound to both the left and the right speakers so that you get the best quality once the gadget is running.
