    How do you get enough bandwidth over an aircard to support this ?? It sounds wonderful and I have a Verizon Pantech aircard on my laptop but the speeds won't support slingbox. Also, is there an antenna you can add to the truck to help with the signal strength to the aircard.

    Your speed is what it is.

    No amount of signal increase will change that. Unless you have a really crappy signal to begin with.

    play with the settings you wil lose quality but can stop or minimize the freezing. you have to have a pretty good signal for it to work decent, also you will use up less bandwidth if you keep the pic quality low even with a good signal, although you can use your 5 gig limit on your aircard real quick. I only watch mine a few hours a month and have no problems keeping under the limit.

    Verizon limits you to 5 gigs, unless you are lucky enough to have an older card and are grandfathered at unlimited. Even if that's the case, they'll throttle you down to <200 mbps once they decide you've used too much.
