Here are the steps for manually adjusting the resolution of the video streaming from your Slingbox to your SlingCatcher.
- Connect to your Slingbox by selecting it from the SlingPlayer list in the SlingCatcher interface.
- Press the OPT button twice to bring up the Disconnect, Advanced and Audio options. (Note: if you are connected to a Slingbox TUNER, you only have to hit OPT once to get the Advanced menu option.)
- Using the arrow buttons, navigate to Advanced and click OK.
You will see a list of possible Slingbox resolution settings. Note the minimum required upstream bandwidth required for each of the settings: - 640x480 resolution: 1 Mbps or better sustained upstream bandwidth from your Slingbox. This is the default resolution when streaming from a Slingbox to your SlingCatcher within your home network (when both devices are on your home network)
- 640x240 resolution: 600 Kbps or better sustained upstream bandwidth from your Slingbox.
- 320x240 resolution: 256 Kbps or better sustained bandwidth from your Slingbox. This is the default resolution when streaming from a Slingbox on the Internet to a SlingCatcher in your home.
If you do not meet the above minimum bandwidth requirements, you will see stuttering video on your TV.
