I just borrowed my friend’s Slingbox and tried its SlingPlayer for Mac, the performance is pleasing. You won’t have problem to get default smooth 320×240 video and great audio using broadband speed more than 300kps (My friend tried to connect to his Slingbox located in HK from US through 300kbp connection, and I tried with 500kps from a cafe in HK). If you don’t mind to scarify smoothness or allow a little bumping of voice, you can try 640×480, I guess if you connection can achieve around 700kps, it should be good for that.

There’re only several TV shows I follow, and I could already get them, so Slingbox’s really just good to have. But then if it’s not expensive, I guess it’s alright to have one. Having said that, perhaps not as HDTV’s just around the corner…

It seems have HD version but I think only applicable in US but not HK… Well it’s really not expensive, if you’re interested to HK programs, you should get one install here.
