What if you could bring your entire TV to a friend's house, all your channels and DVR programs intact? That's more or less what the Slingbox app for Chromecast lets you do today. With a Slingbox hooked up to your home theater plus the SlingPlayer app for iOS and Android devices you could already take your content on…
After nearly two years, Slingbox has just announced its newest boxes, and a brand new look. Welcome to SlingTV.
We spotted them a week ago but the new Slingbox 350 and Slingbox 500 are finally official and they're just as weirdly designed as we expected. Both Slingboxes can stream video to your phone, tablet or computer at 1080p, with the 500 adding built-in Wi-Fi and HDMI and both Slingboxes will spice up your living room.
Zats Not Funny spotted what appear to be two new models of the Slingbox at Best Buy. The Slingbox 350 and Slingbox 500 would be the first refresh of the Internet streaming box in ages. It's about time!
Time Warner Cable, the bane of my existence, is offering a $300 rebate for Slingboxes that makes the whole thing free. Which is nice, except it's only available for their Wideband Internet ($100/month) customers. The deal should start in September. [NY Times]
Companies put out surveys to gauge customer interest in potential new features all the time, so TiVo asking if people would be interested in streaming live and recorded shows from their DVR to an iPad shouldn't be seen as an indication that it's going to definitely happen. But putting a Slingbox into a TiVo would be…
If you've got a Slingbox connected to your TV and have been waiting to get your iPad involved, the time has finally come! SlingPlayer Mobile for iPad lets you view and control your TV over Wi-Fi or 3G for $30.
The Spawn HD-720's promise is borderline unbelievable: It streams your Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii from any Windows PC, anywhere, in HD. And it actually works! (Sort of.) But the list of caveats is long—perhaps fatally so.
Sling Media revealed a pretty enticing update to their SlingPlayer app—namely, it will be updated (and upgraded) for the iPad...eventually.
One of the more interesting things you can do with the iPhone is use it as a remote control for other devices. Since the iPhone App Store launched almost two years ago, developers have created hundreds of remote control applications.
Yes that's right, you can now be a certified couch potato anywhere you find yourself with the new update to SlingPlayer Moblie, which can play back your DVR shows and control live TV from your iPhone or iPod Touch.
This is one fancy remote control. Featuring a touchscreen that lets you manage your DVR as if it was media stored on your phone, it's unfortunately only coming direct from cable/satellite providers. Me wantee.
Dave Zatz has an invite to a CES Slingbox event. Neato: New video streaming gear including a touchscreen device.
You've heard the pitch: the Spawn-720 is like a Slingbox for console games, letting you play your Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or (almost) any other console, through a streaming client on your PC. But does it work? Yes, so far.
Palm Pre and Android phone owners could be getting some Sling streaming television action if this Sling Media job listing reveals anything. The company is looking for a Mobile Interface Designer who has experience with Android and WebOS applications.
Spawn Labs, a startup launching today at TechCrunch50, wants to do for console gaming what the Slingbox did for TV. With their Spawn HD-720 box, users can remotely connect to a console via their laptop.
Gear Live had a sit-down with a senior rep from Verizon and found a few tasty hints as to what's in FiOS's future. Most exciting? They're working on a Slingbox-like service for streaming live TV.
Sling's updated their SlingPlayer iPhone app page, saying they're in "close contact" with Apple and are "optimistic" it'll be approved soon. Sling submitted it over a month ago, so it's pretty late. [Sling via 9to5Mac]
It's easy to forget that Motorola doesn't just make horrible cellphones, they actually make neat gadgets, like the Media Mover: A pocket-sized USB stick that transcodes lots of video and beams it anywhere like SlingBox.
The good news is that Slingplayer, the TV streaming app, is coming to the iPhone soon. The bad news is that your old Slingbox doesn't work with it. Here's Sling's reasoning.
