US (Washington, DC) Slingbox(es) in exchange for Sky+HD/uktv

6 posts in this topic

After two months of not hearing back from the person I was sharing with, along with probably 4 months of hardware issues/always in use by admin; I am currently without an exchange. I haven't watched any SkyHD in months; and while having quit cold turkey was fine, I do miss my daily fix of Road Wars and Nothing to Declare.

 

I've got two Slingboxes, a 350 and Solo, sitting on my network. Both are what I can only call a "semi-dedicated" status; they're both physically in locations that get some usage; however the largely sit idle. Both are connected to HD boxes and I've got the large FiOS package I added all the movie channels to. My internet uplink runs around 35mbps; so there's not only enough bandwidth for both boxes to run full-rate, but there's plenty left over no one notices. Local/broadcast channels come from Washington DC area. You can also access/record to the DVR; but it's not a dedicated DVR unit and programs are shared with everything connected to the network. Neither Slingbox is connected to the DVR, so you will not have fast-forward or rewind capability of Live TV; but you can access recordings from either one. There is also a rather large on-demand library of stuff from the channels I subscribe to.  The HD box is prettyfully dedicated except from anywhere between midnight and 4am (Eastern, 5am - 9am UK)...and that's been leaning more toward the 3am-4am hour (8am - 9am) as I watch some TV before I fall asleep. The SD box is fully dedicated after usually 7pm (midnight) and very rarely has anyone watching that TV the rest of the time. But other than working around that small issue; I don't care how much you watch.

 

I'm looking to share for access to a Sky+HD box, preferably on a unit capable of sending HD on a connection capable of HD. The DVR is not a huge deal breaker; it would be a nice thing to have since I don't expect my next share to be as dedicated as my first share or have the ability to bounce between devices like my setup. I'm not worried about SkyMovies or SkySports; those are nice to have but I never watched them that much. I could probably work with a dedicated FreeSat setup, though I'd miss Watch, gold, Dave and a few others.

 

Anyway, if you're willing to share; let me know.

Greetings,

I see u need UK setups, I have a SKY UK Dreamcast setup running on a slingbox Pro HD, has all the sports channels, reality tv etc. I use it rarely, only during big cricket tournaments. Some HD channels do not work, but all SD channels work perfectly, and the box and internet connection are fully capable of 1920 by 1080p streaming. The box has no DVR.

I would like a US box with channels such as Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, and CNN (cable news network) preferably with a DVR.

Thanks mate

Looking forward to deal

Cheers,

 

You want to trade me a SkyUK setup with no DVR and some broken HD channels for my FiOS setup with access to two slingobxes to double your chance of viewing,a DVR and a fully working HD channels. The HD is the deal-breaker.

 

I'm not saying no; but you're at the bottom of a list of possible shares.
