sling player battery drain

[LSUtigers03]

I just hooked up my slingbox and got it connected to my 3GS. In two weeks I'm going to be flying to see my dad and I'll have some layovers there and back so I was wondering how long it will take the app to drain the battery? I know it will probably drop quick but if anyone can give me a good estimation I would appreciate it. Also if I'm in a car or at home and I have the phone plugged up to a charger will the drain be so much that the charger can't keep up?

Just wondering, can sling player be run over 3G/EDGE? Or does it need wifi?

If your phone is jailbroken you don't need wifi. If it isn't then you will need wifi.

Since you have it why not tell us.

In my experience, running SlingPlayer Mobile on the iPhone can drain the battery in 2 1/2 to 3 hours time.

I don't have a charger right now which is why I asked.

About my experience as well...about 3 hours...SlingPlayer Mobile is a serious power eater...but I still LOVE the app...

About 3 hours. It varie though. And their is no way you can drain your battery faster than your charger can charge it with slingplayer.
