    It's easy on both counts. Just make sure you have a stable home internet connection (a fixed line one, not a mobile broadband variety IMO) and a decent data plan for your iPhone.

    The iPhone application is here: http://www.slingmedia.com/go/iphone

    ** The website seems to suggest it only works on the iPhone via wifi ... so check this out! **

    That true as AT&T in the states stopped the version that worked over 3G. Apparently there was ways to use it over 3G if you jailbreak

    There are indeed:

    I'm still not sure I'd do that though - you'd easily go through the 1GB monthly allowance that most mobile operators here have and you definitely don't want to do that.

    I've been using it over WiFi with a UPC digibox connected to a SlingBox Classic though and it works quite well.

    Please note the SlingPlayer mobile for iPhone is not available on the Irish Appstore. You need a UK or US account to download.
