    Re: Slingbox hosting in the US needed

    It seems that most of local US internet providers (including ATT, Comcast, Verizon) are capping uplink much harder than downlink (just few GB up versus 150-250 GB down) basically cutting you off when they find you're uploading something 24/7. You have to get commercial link (that usually costs 2x more than residential) and this requires you to be at least incorporated. Still they are going to charge you extra for continuous upload if they want. That is why many folks that were hosting in US are forced to shut down. State by state, slowly but it is going to happen. Trust me on that. That is why SlingCatcher disappeared from US market when SlingMedia turned their marketing efforts toward solutions which utilize lower uplink bandwidth requirements like mobile/smart phone based TV slinging.
