Slingbox for Brewers games

mtrebs · April 8, 2008

Is it possible for many people to connect to a Slingbox at once? If so, could we use this to broadcast Brewers games to our fellow brewerfan.net members who aren't in the home market (or who get blacked out)? This would have worked for today's game since myself and many others could not see the game since the Bucks were on FSN. Is this legal to do? If so, would anyone be interested in offering this the next time a game is not on FSN?

I don't think it is possible. Even if it is, I believe you have to download special software on your computer and it would be difficult to pass that around.

Your upstream bandwidth on your internet connection would severely limit the number of connections if you were to try this. I don't know if it is even possible, but if so, it might not be worth it.

I don't think it is possible, I'm using a slingbox and I'm pretty sure only one person can be on it at a time. I've tried to connect to it before when my brother was connected on a different computer and I couldn't get access.

I've been rejected/kicked off when my brother was already on it. The slingbox, however, is the greatest invention. We bought it for my brother who lives in Memphis specifically for Brewer, Packer and Badger games.

I think there's definitely an issue when you're trying to get the game through other than normal means. The staff and mods aren't lawyers here, but we do know when something gives us copyright heebie-jeebies. For the site's protection, I'm going to lock this.
