The software found the Slingbox, tested its video, then found my network router and automatically configured it to stream video over the open Internet, not just on my home network. There?s a ?do it yourself? mode, but take my advice, nerds, and let Sling?s software take the first crack ? it was very fast, and saved me from having to log into...
