It's a Slingbox... with some cursing and swearing it works ... and then you can't live without it.

The link works great. I was able to watch my home TV while on vacation. We took it a step further and a HDMI cable andwatched it on the big flat screen in the house.

I had the original Slingbox A/V unit and decided to add this to connect to my second TIVO box. It was easy to set up and the video streamed to my desktop on my home network was seamless. Have tried it on my smartphone and subject to internet data traffic, this unit works great. I am now able to watch recorded or live video streams on my desktop/laptop from either TIVO HD boxes. Bear in mind this unit is not the HD version. SlingMedia is the premier technology company and have been using their products for the last 4-5 years successfully.

I've known about Slingbox for a few years now and was a little hesitant to try it as I've heard mix things about them. I find myself traveling quite often and thought this would be a good way to help pass some time and bring MY favorite TV shows and movies right to my computer on the go.
Slingbox offers a few different boxes based on different setups. This particular box is meant to be used with an existing TV tuner. What this means is that you must have a cable/satellite box as the Slingbox does not have a TV tuner. You can connect the Slingbox through AV cables (included) or digital HD component cables (sold separately). I have not noticed a difference in quality between the two but its good to have both available due to different home theater setups. The Slinbox must have an internet connection for it to work, either a network cable connected to your router or Slingbox offers a powerline adapter which converts a network connection to run over your existing electrical wiring. The Sling Media SlingLink Turbo Powerline Kit ( SL200-100 )is quite expensive though at $118.00.
Once the box is connected to power, audio/video and network the software can be installed on as many PC's as desired. Software installation is easy as you only have to go to the Slingbox website, create an account and install a few browser plugins.
Slingbox just released their mobile player for Android which is absolutely awesome. It will allow you to watch from your Slingbox to any Android powered device, over WI-FI or even 3G! Quality is good but I have noticed some lag/tiling over 3G. The app is available in the market for $29.99 (ouch!).
Pros
- Watch TV from just about anywhere there is an internet connection
- Easy Installation
- No subscription fee
- Mobile clients for smart phones (Blackberry, IPhone, Android)
Cons
- Max resolution of 640x480 which may not look the best on large displays
- One user watching at a time
- 1.5mbit uplink required on broadband connection
Overall I am very pleased with my Slingbox and recommend it to friends and family.

I own the older version of slingbox. It is the AV which I purchased 3 years ago. Home viewing was fine butI was unable to view over the internet. I contacted customer service and they were terrible and I gave up. I recently became interested in the app for the iphone for slingmedia. I read that you had to upgrade your box to the solo in order for this to work with the iphone. I decided before I invest the money I needed to make sure I had my internet viewing options available. I again attempted to contact customer service and to my surprise I realized that they were charging for technical support to the tune of $30! I was outraged. What kind of company does that? After three days and hours of internet research and setting changes I solved my problem and had the option to connect for internet viewing. I really wanted the option to watch tv on my iphone so I reluctantly decided to suck it up and give this greedy company more money and upgrade to a solo. But, first I downloaded the app. and attempted to connect to the slingbox Av and it worked. I feel somewhat vindicated that I didn't have to shell out $150+ for another box. However, I did have to pay $30 for the app. I think it was worth it. I wanted to share this information to anyone who has an AV and was considering the upgrade. Try the app. first with your old model. You may be able save yourself a few bucks instead of giving it out to this greedy company. They should be ashamed.
