IP-Problem->Slingbox

Goldenstar · 09-09-2008, 08:48 AM

I need help!

I have a Slingbox and want receive TV(=streaming) from my satellite dish everywhere in the world. I would like to move my satellite dish from abroad.
I have a dynamic IP. In my country it is impossible to buy the static IP.
To change the whole system with a static IP is quite expensive. My provider cannot do the 8 Mbits/s....that means I would pay nearly for nothing.
My provider said something about dynDNS; no-IP....but at the moment he does not know how to do it. How can I solve this problem step by step?

Thank you for your help

oh yeah I suppose if you just change channels, the STB will move the dish if the channel is on another sat

sounds like you are doing FTA, there are linux based STBs out there that support network streaming directly... just in case you didn't know...
