Hey everybody,
I have been using Mike's slingbox service for the past 6 months and I only have one thing to say, it's great! I have the HD setup and the speeds average about 2100Kbps even though I am thousands of miles away in Japan. I also use the slingcatcher and the iphone application, both of which are also great. Sometimes when I'm watching tv it's hard to believe I'm not in the states. Plus, everytime I show it to one of my one expat friends, they are blown away!
As for the service, Mike is topnotch. I have emailed many (and I mean MANY!) times with little requests and he always responds ASAP. Recently there was a small problem with the slingbox not connecting to my slingcatcher. He went the extra mile and bought a brand-new slingbox the same day! That kind of service is almost unheard of nowadays!
I recommend Mike and his slingbox service to all of my friends. Send him an email and give his free demo a try. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed!
