Sometimes change the setting manually would be better. Of course, depends on your upstream speed at the source (20m down 2m up for me)
Really? So far I have had best results at 15 fps and 500 kps. If I try to turn the frame rate up (and kps down) it jumps around a bit at full screen. Even though sling recommends using GDI rendering, I have found the results to be much worse if using it. It stops tearing, but the frame rate goes in the toilet (and jumps around a lot). Also, if I let slingplayer do the settings automatically, it decides on something around 7 fps and 80 kps... (completely worthless). That is with stock and ATI video drivers. Honestly I haven't seen any difference with the ATI driver and slingplayer. It does make a difference with the phone interface though, and the camera doesn't seem to take as blurry photos in low light...
