I've been thinking about getting a Slingbox for a while now since I travel a lot. Just this past spring and summer when I was in the United Kingdom, I was TV starved and had to rely on internet streams to catch up on some of my favourite TV shows. The saddest part during my time in the United Kingdom was that I was unable to stream the Stanley Cup Finals from the CBC website.
I've read quite a few reviews on the unit, but they're all in the context of a US setup. Does the Slingbox operate with full functionality with a Canadian STB from either Shaw or Telus?
My current internet connection with Telus is more than fast enough to support even the Slingbox Pro-HD, but I'm not sure if that is an overkill or not. When I finally move into my new house at the end of December (massive construction delay), I'll be on Shaw's new 100Mbit/sec downstream and 5Mbit/sec upstream connection. I wouldn't mind paying more for the Pro-HD if it's worth it.
