Buffering issues with Slingbox on a 8525 makes viewing erratic

Under WiFi there is no problem, but when I use the cingular network, w/o proxy setting, the viewing sure isn't smooth

Are there any settings to the 8525 or on the mobile Slingbox where this could be more smooth?

Thanks for any suggestions

You should just need to adjust to download speed on the sling phone client. This is a symptom of just trying to download faster than the phone can on the Cingular network.

That did it. I am not getting the buffering stalls anymore

Thanks

Just a quick question. Why do people not want to use Cingular's proxy server when connecting to the Cingular network? I've done tests and the latest one showed that I was at 1.7 Mbps when connecting through the proxy and only 550 kbps when not.

Will Slingbox not allow this connection? I use Orb and it works great using the proxy. I was just wondering, I always connect through the proxy and have never had problems not being able to connect anywhere.

Interesting brettatk, I could not even get the slingbox mobile to connect through cingular's proxy server. I had to remove it

are you using the pda connect or the media max

Posted by: brettatk

I am on the Media Max plan.

Well for some reason I cannot get it to connect using a proxy server. I have the Media Max as you do. I am in Nothern Califronia, though I don't think it has anything to do with that
