Slingbox TV and a Vodafone Kaiser...

[loser40]

Hi...

I'd really like to be able to watch TV on my handset and I'm tempted to buy a Slingbox and hook it up to my Sky+, as the prices for this hardware have dropped to around £50.

The thing that worries me is any charges Vodafone might make for data transfer charges.

On another forum Ive seen a Vodafone user claim that he doesn't get any extra charges using his handset to receive TV via Slingbox using 3G, but I'm skeptical.

I know that using WiFi would incur no costs, but what about 3G & HSDPA...

Do any forum members have first hand experience of using Slingbox on the Vodafone network ?

If so, are you charged for doing so, if you are, how much do you end up paying ?

BTW, I'm on the £7.50 Mobile Internet Plan.

TIA,

Mark.

I'm on vodafone and use my slingbox all the time. I'm on an unlimited UK data contract, although I try and use wifi where possible.

Mr G 2003...

I'm on the £7.50 'Unlimited' plan, but reading the small print there is a "fair usage" limit of 500Mb a month. Using Vodafones site, this equals about 6 1/2 hours TV a month !

Are you also on the same £7.50 package ? Do you use 3G for Slingbox for more than 6 1/2 hours a month without extra charges ?
