What our customer's say!

"Amazing", Easy setup. You need to purchase SlingLink if your computer and your video source (cable box) are in different rooms. Easy stuff and an amazing product.

"Great Product but overkill for most", While I bought the slingbox pro, it was probably overkill for my needs. First of all, I did not need it control 3 inputs. My cablebox has a built in DVR and, I am unlikely to have a desire to watch a DVD from my home DVD player over the internet. So, my point is the pro works great but is probably more than most people need. I really only needed one input.
Secondly, the HD is not really realistic over the internet. If you just care about watching TV from your home in a room that does not have a cable hookup or tv then, HD is possible. If you plan on sending HD over the internet, forget it. I have good internet service at home with up to 2 MPS upload and as much as 15 download. When viewing your slingbox remotely, you care about your UPLOAD speed at home and your download speed at your viewing location (hotel, work...etc).

I travel frequently, and I rarely get more than 500KPS download speed in hotels I frequent. My home upload speed is fine but I lose it on the download end. This is ok for normal video but not for HD.

I don't want to give a wrong impression. I love this product but I paid about 150 less than the current asking on Amazon (I picked it up as a gold box deal). At the current price, I would have bought one of the lower end models of sling and been just as happy.



"sling box", Great product. I can watch games on TV while at work. Picture quality is o.k. I need to get the HD adapter and I'm sure the picture will be even better. Overall very satisfied though.

"Singbox PRO", This is an awesome product. It's relatively easy to setup and the picture quality exceeds all my expectations. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I had to buy the SlingLink to set up the networking part of it. Most people don't have their wireless router right next to their cable box so they will need the SlingLink to make the connection. The extra cost was well worth the pleasure I've been getting out of this little baby.

"great product", This is a great product. It does just what i want. It has more features then I need, but I hope to be able to use them in the future.

Just one note, be sure this is what you want. Sending TV across the internet you will not get the best picture.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Fantastic!", Wow, I couldn't remember buying new technology that actually worked perfectly, with near zero effort, right out of the box, but this reminded me! Works great and couldn't be more simple to use. If only every new device worked like this.

"Great Device", Slingbox is a really cool device that lets you access your cable from anywhere you have internet (including smart-phones, like the Motorola Q; the mobile software is $30 however). The video quality certainly isn't as good as a full TV but it's still completely sufficient for watching on your laptop or phone. The best part is the slingplayer software (which is a free download from their site, only the mobile version costs $$) is just like being at your tv with your cable provider's remote. Installing the slingbox can be difficult, particularly with wireless routers, but their customer service is very helpful, you can log on and instantly chat with a representative who will do the configuration on your computer for you if need be. They have almost every type of cable company's remote, so you can access unique features like ondemand and on-screen program guides on your computer or phone. Mine is at a friend's house back home (he has a better cable plan than I do) which means I get access to all the local channels and best of all, I get to see my home teams' games that aren't covered locally when I'm away at college
The only downside is the cost, slingbox pro is about $300, but 90% you have to also buy slinglink which is another $80 because most people don't have their router right next to the cable outlet. Then again it is just a one-time fee, and if you use it on your mobile phone, it beats any mobile TV service out there by a long shot since it's only $30 one time for the software (you need a good data plan, however)

"No Free-To-Air Digital TV", Nice product. When it works right. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Fortunately, the product offers some of the best technical support I've experienced.

My problem with this product is that I have antenna-only free-to-air TV reception, BUT come February 17th, 2008 when analog NTSC stops, this unit will no longer have a working tuner. Only if you have a newer TiVo box, cable or satellite, will you get live TV.

The UK version of the Pro does comes with ATSC (Digital TV) and analog tuners. Why not the US version too? We spoke with the company, and they told us to buy an extra digital converter box($50), the kind the government is giving out coupons for.

All over-the-air broadcasts will be digital by law by February, 2009. Sling Media have announced a new Pro Sling Media Slingbox PRO-HD SB100-100 that has NTSC (analog), ATSC (digital) and QAM (basic cable), but no release date has been set yet. Frankly, I think it should have been on the market a long time ago.

Sling is currently testing new software for the US only. The BETA version, which you can download, buffers for ten minutes, letting you pause and "rewind" live TV. Also, a channel's logo is now automatically assigned to the TV stations.

Over all, this is a nice well-designed product. To use it to its fullest, however, requires a bit of planning when it comes to where you attach the DVR, DVD, cable and satellite boxes.

But on the positive side, Sling Media offers very good tech support, which set up my Slingbox pro to my Internet router for me and helped me set it up on my laptop and desktop computer. It's a very good product, but it needs to be improved.

"3 for now...", I've had this a month. I'm a fairly technical guy working in the IT industry... So I was fairly confident going into this that I'd be able to set it up. It was a lot tricky than I expected and I'm not 100% sure I even have it set up correctly but it functions. Quality and the software is excellent, the channel changer works nicely but I'm concerned that i'm going to have to go through another painful install when I replace my existing computer.

I'm also a little confused by the HD Connect Cable - I'm a little perturbed it wasn't included and feel that some of the marketing literature on the PRO isn't 100% accurate in terms of HD support. But I suppose that's part of the enjoyment with new technology :)

"Great Product But Not Perfect", The Slingbox is pretty amazing, don't get me wrong. The "pros" are well expressed here in various reviews and I love it, but it has a few shortcomings as well.

The built-in analog tuner will only give you channels 2-68 if you decide to attach it to the coaxial cable inline between the wall and the cable-box or the tv. The advantage is that you can change channels remotely without interfering with the viewing on the local tv; the disadvantage is that you may lose some of the upper channels that may be part of your basic cable package.

The price of the PRO over the AV is fairly significant. If you don't need the tuner or need to attach more devices than just the cable tv, go the Slingbox AV route even though the "wizard" on the sling website tells you you need the PRO. I tried a entering even the most basic needs and it will always recommend the more expensive PRO unit.
