Awesome device once you get it up and running

DEC

2007

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... read full review »

Watch Your Home Television from Halfway Around the World

If you've ever found yourself in a strange hotel room wishing for all the world that you could watch what you TiVo'ed last night, Sling Media's Slingbox might be just the product for you. My husband purchased me a Slingbox for my birthday, knowing well that we could find numerous creative ways to use...

Remote TV watching when on the go

Slingbox Pro Review Title: Remote TV…who knew?

Pros: Pretty good streaming video (but depends on internet connection speeds), no fees

Cons: action video (e.g. sport) can tax your bandwidth

This is a very cool device. I use it to watch TV when I'm traveling. As well, I also use it to watch TV at home on my laptop (in a different room from my TV) via my home wireless connection. The video quality at home is excellent (of course it functions at high network speeds) when it can stream at about 3 Mbps. When on the road the quality depends on the local download speed. I can sometimes hit 600 Kbps... read full review »

I purchased the Slingbox as a christmas gift for my fiance. At the time of purchase, he was traveling out of the country for work. The first couple of trips that he took, he was only able to watch 3 or 4 english channels from the hotel. This is what inspired my purchase.

He was able to set up the Slingbox with minimal effort (he works in the IT field). Once the slingbox was installed on his laptop, he was able to watch regular programming from any location that had interenet access. There is a delay in the signal so if you sit in front of your television you can compare the two images. ...

The SlingBox offers a simple piece of hardware that allows you to watch *your* TV on your PC or Mac. You can even watch your HD over-air on your computer while you watch satellite on your TV itself. Handy for those who don't have, but have an occasional need for more than one TV in the same house and those who travel frequently but want to watch their local news or other channels they receive at home when they're away. It also lets you control your TiVO so that if you forgot to add a show to the to-do list, you can do so remotely. Way cool. No subscription fees is a definite plus.

I use the Sling Box to watch TV on my computer, on my phone and in my vacation home when I'm away from home. This product slings media through the internet to another media source. You can have it hooked up to a DVD player, Tivo, cable box, anything. Some people may think who needs this... well you don't need it but it's a fun accessory. I love waiting for something and being bored becuase now I can watch Showtime on my phone. (not all phones have capability, I have a Blackberry Bold)
