I am living in the US, and I’d love to watch Gaelic football televised on Irish TV. Setanta does not stream all football played there. So the alternative might mean that I could install a Slingbox in say, my brother’s house in Ireland and “dial into it” from here in US? I am just trying to figure out the connectivity of it all …… How is the slingbox connected to his Internet? From an output port on his router? Does the router need to be adjacent to his TV? LOve to know the external wiring that’s needed. Thanks,
Liam
