Sling Media - Slingbox —
I purchased a Slingbox Pro and love it! That is ... after I finally got the Remote Viewing feature up and running. Remote Viewing is the reason most people purchase a Slingbox - it allows a user to view virtually any A/V device from any high speed internet connection in the world.Initial setup of the Slingbox and the software was a breeze. I was watching and controlling my cable box throughout the house with nothing more than my wireless network.
However, it was very difficult to find out how to set up the Remote Viewing. Turns out there are settings within my router that needed to be set but finding the information on the Slingbox website was next to impossible. I eventually had to contact customer service by phone before getting the information I needed. Their customer service was great and made sure that I understood the steps needed to complete setup.
Once I got past the Remote Viewing setup, everything else worked perfectly.
So far I have connected my cable/satellite box, dvd player, vcr and most recently a wireless camera which monitors my home when I'm away.
The options to using this device are seemingly endless and now that Echostar (ie. Dish Network) has acquired SlingMedia, there may be more to come.
