Q&A: streaming my tv from wireless b connection?
Question by : streaming my tv from wireless b connection?
hello, I have a slingbox-type device called a hava/monsoon platinum hd-same function as slingbox lets u stream ur own tv from remote locations. I would like to watch my tv in between classes at school, but the schools network is configured using wireless b only, not g. Would the video still be watchable? I am not looking for HD video and I don't expect that either, just video thats watchable doesn't jitter/skip etc.. at home, I have a b/g network.

Q&A: How to watch TV from a cable box/DVR on another TV?
Question by Manbearpig: How to watch TV from a cable box/DVR on another TV?
I'd like to get a device to be able to use the cable box and DVR on one TV in my house on another TV in my house that can't connect to cable without a box.
My cable company wants to charge me a month for a box to get basic channels on that TV, but I'd rather pay 0 to own a box to be able to use all the channels and DVR recordings I pay for already.
I've seen the Slingcatcher, but that runs 0 and you need a Slingbox which is another 0, but I'm not interested in using a Slingbox at all as I have no need to watch my TV and DVR on my computer or cell phone.
Does anyone know of any alternative products or methods for doing this?
Doctor and Greaser, that's not what I'm looking for at all.
I know how to split a coaxial cable and if I was interested in running visible cables lines up and down my house I would just do that.
I also don't want to run a coaxial cable out from my cable box / DVR because that requires using more wires and you can't change the channel on the secondary TV.
The question is geared toward Slingbox/Slingcatcher alternatives so I can wirelessly use the existing cable box / DVR on the secondary TV.

What is the best way for me to watch TV in my dorm room?
Question by americaguy9: What is the best way for me to watch TV in my dorm room?
I need TV, I am so deprived LOL. Anyways, I have a new 24" iMac and a 32" TV. There are 2 products I've found so far that look great. I need your help to tell me which one is better, or if there is something else that beats these 2.
The first one is the Slingbox... http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slingbox
I can watch it through my computer too, but then also get a SlingCatcher and watch through my TV. At home, we have a DVR player with a lot of channels.
And the 2nd one is EyeTV for my iMac, so I can watch TV on my computer... http://www.eyetv.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/software/EyeTV3/product1.en.html
This one looks great too, would just need to get a TV Tuner, and they have a few choices of some on the same site. I am just not sure the quality of TV I get, what channels I get, etc.
So I need your help, and 10 points for best answer, thanks!!!

Q&A: Moving Modem to another room with filter problems?
Question by computerwizard145: Moving Modem to another room with filter problems?
Ok I have my DSL modem, Wireless Router, and Slingbox networked in my home office. The slingbox is connected to my home office tv. But I would like to move all of these equipment to my living room so I can plug into the PS3, TV, and Sat Box. Anyway I have tried moving the modem myself (which I know how to do). I move the filter and everything with it. But when I hook it up to the phone line behind the tv cabinet it doesnt work. I Think it is because when the man from Bellsouth installed my modem and such he put one underground filter on my house so I would not have trouble with filters on all my phones. I had a filter on home office though because that was originally the garage and it did not run. So I had an underground filter and a sub filter at my desk with my modem. But when I move it I have to plug it up to the phone line with the underground filter while using the sub filter with it. When I do this I can't connect to the internet though. Is it because it is running through two filters? What do I need to do to get around this so I can move my modem to my living room.

Filters and splitters block the DSL signal to keep hissy noise off the telephone line. DSL will not work through a filter.
PhoneLine - NID Splitter ----- DSL Modem
. . . . . . . . . . . . .\----- All other phone jacks
Sounds like you have a Splitter at your Network Interface (where the telephone line meets the house.) This is good, it gives higher DSL speeds as the DSL signal only goes to one jack rather than being spread to several jacks.
At that underground filter there should be a connection marked DATA that is connected to your present DSL jack. There should be a connection marked VOICE that is connected to all of your other phones.
To move your modem, first move the wire on the DATA connection to the VOICE connection, all the wires on the VOICE, nothing on the DATA. This will filter the line to the garage.
Next, find the wires going to the living room jack.
If you have several wires tied down on the VOICE connection simply plug a cordless phone into the living room jack you wish to use and take the set out to the underground and lift wires one at a time until you lose the dial tone to that jack. Move that wire to the DATA connection.
If you have a single cable with blue, orange, green, brown pairs pick an unused color and tie to the DATA connection, open the living room jack you wish to use and connect the jack to that same color pair.
You should be able to plug your modem into the living room jack and get DSL Sync.
