Warren,
I think James was correct, at least
200kbps. The SlingPlayer displays the current speed. Anything above
300 is very good. Over 500 and it is excellent.

Stephen,
You do like your toys don't you!
I find that as I have gotten older, I have more toys, not less....
...and they are more expensive too!
SlingBox looks really cool. I checked it out online a while
back. How fast of a connection do you need for reliably good
"reception"?

Off Topic -
For those of us that travel on business regularly, one thing that I miss
is being able to watch all my satellite channels. The hotels that I
stay at usually only have one movie channel, and local channels that I
never watch. On my last trip I finally decided to get a SlingBox.
I wanted to pass this along to the List because this thing is cool and
easy to setup. At the hotel I was able to watch all 200+ channels over
the internet and the video and audio quality was good. It also works
with cable, Tivo or basically anything that can be accessed with a
remote control.
Anyway, another cool gadget I recently got that I can recommend is
broadband wireless. My service is through Verizon but there are other
providers. I get DSL download speeds from anywhere I can get a cell
phone signal.
On my last trip my plane was delayed two hours. So... I sat at the
airport watching DirecTV on my notebook using the wireless broadband
card.
Technology is good.
Stephen
