Slingcatcher: The Ultimate HD Streamer/File Player

Not only can you use this to play back streamed HD content from the Slingbox Pro HD on your HDTV, the Slingcatcher acts as a file dump for tons of file formats as well (DivX, XviD). The third and most innovative feature of the Slingcatcher is its ability to take video from your PC (either a portion of a screen or a specific window) and stream that to the Slingcatcher. It lets you watch YouTube video, ABC HD video, or anything you can play back on your computer—but on your living room HDTV.

Naturally, the close-up showing the specs is blurry, the first sign of a fake, so take this with some Morton table salt. Peep the other two shots post-jump.

Sling Media Slingcatcher is Real: IP Video Streamer

A few weeks ago, Dave Zatz dubbed the device in some leaked Sling FCC filings "Slingcatcher". He was right on. Amazing psychic powers, Dave! It's Sling Media's latest box, and it doesn't send video out over networks, apparently in HD. It streams video inward. Which is kind of yawn-tastic, in a day where the idea of IP video boxes are common. Or rumored to be. Good thing for that high res capable HDMI connection. More »
