Sling is Out, Jailbreakers can Haz 3G

**eballesq** · 05-14-2009, 05:57 AM

Just an FYI -- tapping the "DVR" button on the app powers on my DirecTV DVR. No way to power off though.

im running 2.2.1 and using screensplitr combined with the a/v wires from apple. anybody care to make an educated guesstimate about my usage question? really would hate to lose my internet plan for abusive usage. right now im using t-mobile but i also have at&t and would rather use 3g but that whole terms of service thing scares me a tad.

I would think the usage would be very high.
Bets thing to do is try it as no one seams to know.
Check your data usage before, watch it for ten minutes, check your usage after then you can work out how much an hours watching will take - it will be a rough guide only as different things will use different compression but should give you an idea.

If you do this, post the results here to give others an idea!

I just ordered a Sling yesterday, so plan to have fun this weekend setting it all up. Work productivity may go down next week.....

HAHA. I know what you mean, I am going to catch up on all the shows I have missing.

Stealth,

Have you had a chance to work on MobileSubstrate so VOIPover3G works with OS 3?
(I'm sorry to be a nudge)

**coachballfirm** · 05-14-2009, 09:19 PM

confirming that threeG works with sling over 3G. So u get best of both worlds.

**jarednl4** · 05-15-2009, 09:23 AM

Yes, but we're still waiting for the MobileSubstrate fix for OS3!!!!

SEAAAAAAALTHHHHHHH!!!!

**confucious** · 05-15-2009, 09:28 AM

Sealth?

**StealthBravo** · 05-15-2009, 09:41 AM

In testing phase right now!

**confucious** · 05-15-2009, 10:05 AM

That's good to know SealthBavo!

**StealthBravo** · 05-15-2009, 10:07 AM

^ HAHA

Where would we be without your witty humor?

Good day sir!

**confucious** · 05-15-2009, 10:11 AM

Where would we be without your work on 3.0? Good day to you to, sir.

Without my witty humour I'd probably still be down the pub....

Ok guys, i purchased a SLingbox solo and im trying to set it up but where the hell do i find my Finder ID.... I'm totally lost...Anyone?

Thanks-iphoneman123

**confucious** · 05-15-2009, 03:41 PM

Wouldn't it be easier just to look at the FAQ on slingmedia's site where you would find Sling Media Support - What's a Slingbox ID? (Also known as "Finder ID" or "Slingbox Finder ID") ?

**iphoneman76** · 05-15-2009, 03:56 PM

Been there done that...

I found out my problem. You have to plug your computer in the router...Dah!

lol

Just wanted to report that I was in a non-3G area today, and was able to sling quite well on nothing but Edge. Pretty cool. It does stop a bit more often to "optimize" but not too much that it isn't workable.

**elsgk2** · 05-15-2009, 06:02 PM

I was trying to help on my slingbox classic thru tech support and they wanted to charge me $30 (pay per incident)
after 90 days you have to pay unless you buy a plan

Stealth, You don't even need to explain.... your the coolest dude on this site and we know you guys will knock it outta the PARK. Thanks for the heads up though...YOU DA MAN!

**reeko** · 05-16-2009, 03:50 AM
