The only issue I've seen is that sometimes the video and audio get just a little bit out of sync. That only happens rarely though, and when it does I can fix it by pausing the video for a few seconds. My mac mini is very old. I think it's the very first model that came out with the intel chip in it so it's 4/5 years old I guess. It has 2 Gb of RAM and get's the network through a wireless g network in the house. Yeah - It would be great if Sling releases a version of the mobile player designed specifically for the iPad's increased resolution! @Alex – I don’t have any complaints about the video quality.

If it's the same, maybe I can send some screen shots with the port forwarding setup. @Mark – what’s the model number on your router?

HD streaming out of the house isn't that important, as I'd be watching on my iPhone or a computer on the road. I think I have the upstream bandwith as my fios is 25 down and 5 up. I'm actually excited to try streaming the HD Tivo box content because I have Netflix on my TIVO. So I'd be receiving the downstream from Netflix, running it through the Slingbox and then streaming it out to my iPhone on the road. I'm planning on getting an iPad and seeing how that solution works as well. Kind of a work around until Netflix decides to deliver a streaming app on the iPhone/iPod/iPad platform.

I'm considering getting the Macmini with a 2.53GHz core 2 duo and 4 GB ram. Are you streaming HD video to your Macmini with good results? That is what it seems like from your post, but I just wanted to confirm that. If you are getting good results, what are the specs on the Macmini you are streaming HD content from the slingbox to?

Tried their website, no luck. Sure wish these things just worked out of the box, setting up router seems like a foreign language class.

What connection speed does it show in the lower right portion of the window? Seems like maybe your upstream link on your internet connection is not fast enough.

How are you guys getting such clear pictures? I upgraded my slingplayer software on my mac to 1.0.10.272 which I believe is the latest update. But cannot get a good pic. it looks like a horrible digital pic. Is it just me? I have the stream optimize automatically and the pic size and the internet access set to auto. Do I need to change that? If so what do i change it to? I have an HD slingplayer that I watch on my mac and the picture is terrible. i cannot seem to get a good picture.
