Slingbox and PS3

[glenn-bob]

Does anyone have their PS3 hooked up to a Slingbox??? Just wondering how it works for you. I gave my bride a slingbox for xmas to operate her cable box/DVR remotely so i thought I might wanna hook the PS3 up to it so I could watch movies or listen to my music through my PS3 media centre from where ever in the world I am, hahahaha. ain't technology awesome. anyway, just curious to find out if it works for anyone.

I do, i had my bluray playing on my Sling Box HD in 1080i it was clear but not crazy like a tv, it worked, provided the bit rate was over 3000 and i had a good connection. still a very cool way to go bluray!

How do you control the PS3? Seeing how it has no ir and Slingbox only controls via ir

As far as streaming media, you can use a PSP for that. Both the slingbox and PSP use WiFi so, with a PSP, you can access your PS3 remotely.

However, the PSP won't play PS3 games or Blu-Ray remotely unfortunately.
