Sling Catcher:

Hi! All
I have just had my one arrive today and while I have been able to get it set up working on my home network I just wondered if there is anyone else who has got one of these, and if so if you could tell me if it is easy to set up at another location.

I would like to be able to use it at my Auntie and Uncle's house as they have broadband, but how does it know how to connect to your network from another location?.

Does it somehow remember the settings after you have set it up on your own home network or do you need to take details of your network settings with you?.

It is just that when I set the Slingbox software up on my laptop I had to open certain ports on my laptop and the router, where as with the Sling Catcher you don't appear to have to do that.

I look forward to answers.

Thanks in advance.
