Slingbox Mac Client v1.0: Free Here and Now to Sling Some Apple TV

slingboxappletv.pngI took a long look at the beta for Slingplayer with Apple TV compatibility inside. And I liked what I saw. So I installed it on all the other Macs in the house. Only to find out that the beta expires tomorrow and that version 1.0 is out today. Go download it if you're a Slinghead. And btw, the Apple TV support is a Mac exclusive now. – Brian Lam

    I think this is a great addition. I'm picking up my APPLE TV tonight to try it out. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, it only has one HD connector.

    HMMMM.... what shall I do? They don't have a switch box or a splitter built in. I guess APPLE TV will be flying LO-DEF for now. Can't sacrifice my cable connection.

    I noticed they mentioned the APPLE TV support was added to the APPLE SLINGPLAYER. Has anybody run the APPLE TV on their handheld devices yet? Kinda curious.

    You might want to take the period out of the link.

    If you set up your SlingBox Pro with the Mac SlingPlayer, you will still be able to control it both from the PC version and the Mobile client. I am using it on my Toshiba M400 with Windows XP, a Samsung Blackjack, and a Sprint PPC 6700 after setting the box up from the new Mac player on a Mac Mini.

    The only thing that you won't get is a fancy Apple Remote, but that doesn't affect functionality.
