I have 3 MB DSL from ATT, but the upload rate is only around 300KB. I get messages that I can't get HD and often can't get any signal at all.
What bandwidth is required for the Sling box.

You can check the required speed by device by visiting http://www.mydish.com/support/slinging-device. Please let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Using a smartphone the required BW for standard definition is 250KB and high definition required 500KB. So basically you are not going to get high def and standard def is iffy. I gave up and unplugged my slingbox months ago since it rarely worked.

I have 2 setups...one has 1 meg up and the other about 500kb.....the one meg blows the doors off the other....a friend that had 5meg is stunning!

It is important not to blame the Slingbox for your lack of bandwidth.

I have limited experience with Broadband, so my question is what is the normal upload bandwidth. I have experience with ATT DSL and Windstream DSL and they both are 3MG download and approx 300KB upload. When I talked to them about the up load speed they both said 300 MB was standard.
Appreciate your input
Thanks

6 meg DSL service at the house.

Really pleased with the sling adapter. I have two slings, one for each Hopper.

Able to get most attempts in HD.

Plan to upgrade my phone to Galaxy S 3 or a note for bigger screen & better viewing. And of course the 4G LTE can't hurt either.
