set the default video quality to Auto to allow SlingPlayer to dynamically adjust the stream quality to the current available network bandwidth. Otherwise, you may be able to improve the experience by forcing the video quality on SlingPlayer to Standard Quality (SQ) or Normal mode. Remember that video playback with a Standard Quality setting may not be as sharp or clear as with a High Quality/High Definition or an Auto setting.
Make sure that your network meets the minimum bandwidth requirements for your device. You can check the bandwidth using a third-party network speed app.
Video performance can be affected by too many applications running in the background on the mobile device, if it's supported. Too many open application processes can slow the handset down and affect the performance of SlingPlayer.
If the video quality is poor and the SQ (standard quality) button is grayed out, you can fix it by manually setting up your home network for a TCP connection to your Slingbox using a technique called Port Forwarding. Just click the Setup on Slingbox.com link below. After you have selected your Slingbox, click Set Up Internet Viewing.
