Use Slingbox Pro Overseas
The Slingbox Pro, and all other models of the Slingbox, allow users to take their favorite TV programs with them wherever they go. The Slingbox Pro is connected to the user's home entertainment system, configured to work on his high speed Internet, and the Slingbox software does the rest. The software is available on most SmartPhones including the iPhone and both Mac and Windows computers. The user simply installs the software and connects to his Slingbox wherever he has Internet, even overseas.
Instructions
While Still at Home
1. Write down your Slingbox's ID. The Slingbox ID is displayed when you launch the Slingplayer software while connected to the home network, click "Help" and choose "About [Slingbox Name]." The Slingbox ID and the password chosen during the initial set up are required for accessing the Slingbox remotely.
2. Register for a Sling Account. Visit the Sling Account homepage (see "Resources") and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the registration process. The Sling Account saves all of the information required to connect to the Slingbox in one location. This makes it easy to configure multiple devices quickly.
3. Click on "Slingbox Directory," then press "Add Slingbox" and enter all of the required connection information including the Slingbox ID and password in the Sling Account and save the changes.
While Overseas
4. Connect the Slingplayer compatible device to a high speed Internet connection. Compatible devices include SmartPhones, computers and PDAs. The connection may be wired or wireless, but the streaming quality will be affected by the overall speed of the connection.
5. Launch the Slingplayer software on the device.
6. Press the "Connect" button and enter your Sling Account log in information to establish the connection. Use the virtual remote control to navigate through the available channels or access your recorded programs by using the program guide interface.
