yes, you will need a "wireless internet signal". and yes, a [3G or EVDO] wireless internet connection is fast enough.
the slingplayer software will automatically adjust the video quality to suit the network speed. if you're stationary then it will take a few seconds to "optimize", then it will playback smooth video. if you're driving while using it (hopefully the driver is NOT watching it
) then [depending on the network, area/location, and proximity to towers] you may find it constantly "optimizing" which may result in 'choppy' playback.
the slingbox is an awesome device. I have the Slingbox A/V (connects to and controls my digital cable box) I use it all the time with my Treo 700w. I also use it on my eeepc when travelling or staying over at a friend's house. I have it on my carPC but I almost never use it there (I won't watch it while driving, and I'm very rarely just sitting in my car long enough where I would feel the need to watch TV). it is however a very cool feature to show off to your [non-carputer-savy] friends
