Amazon.com Product Description The first generation Slingbox was
a big step forward for so-called "place shifting" technology,
allowing you to view incoming TV signals on any TV computer in
your home or on any Internet-connected PC around the world. Sling
Media is now introducing the successors to this groundbreaking
product. Now there are three Slingboxes to choose from, each with
features that make it easier than ever to bring your TV and other
media with you wherever you roam. Choose from the Slingbox Tuner,
AV, and Pro models depending on your entertainment needs. Compare
Slingbox models.
The Slingbox Tuner offers coax and NTSC antenna connections.
Slingbox Tuner
The Slingbox Tuner is the perfect companion for your basic cable
subscription. With the ability to watch and control your cable
TV, the Slingbox Tuner ensures that you can enjoy your live TV
entertainment anywhere you go. Turn every computer you use into a
portable TV without the need to connect a coax cable! Using an
Internet connected computer or compatible mobile phone (with
purchase of SlingPlayer Mobile software), you can watch and
control your basic cable TV (analog or digital, plus NTSC
antenna) anywhere around your home or around the globe. With a
Slingbox Tuner you will never be separated from your favorite TV
shows, sports broadcasts, or breaking news stories. The Slingbox
Tuner also includes the free Slingbox Finder service to locate a
Slingbox from any network location, in or out of the home.
How it Works
Slingbox Tuner is a small device that connects to your cable box
to redirect the TV signal to the computer of your
choice--providing high quality video, no matter the distance, so
long as there is a high-speed Internet connection. This
technology also allows you to access and control your TV from
anywhere--and your TV doesn't even have to be on.
You can enjoy your basic cable signal on any computer at home, on
the Internet, or on a compatible mobile phone.
SlingMedia's patent pending SlingStream technology delivers the
smoothest and best video quality possible. SlingStream delivers
up to a 400 percent video quality improvement over the original
Slingbox. SlingStream is powered by a programmable engine that is
capable of running the latest video compression algorithms.
SlingStream dynamically adjusts to changes in network conditions,
video content, and Internet bandwidth. At Home, At Work, or on
the Go
At home, Now you can watch TV in whatever room in the house you
choose. Say goodbye to the days of having to watch your child's
favorite DVD over and over again. Now you can watch your soaps in
the laundry room. You can watch your fix-it shows in the garage.
Or you can watch your cooking shows in the kitchen. You'll never
get stuck having to watch shows you don't want to now that you're
in charge of what's on, when it's on, and where it's on.
Now that you can access your TV wherever you have your computer,
the clock won't be the only thing worth watching at work. You can
watch your news and business channels to stay updated. You can
catch the big game while tending to business. Or, you can watch
your favorite shows during your downtime. In any event, work will
never just be business as usual.
With the SlingBox you can travel to another country and actually
understand the programs. You can visit the in-laws and not get
stuck watching The Weather Channel. No matter where your journey
takes you, one thing is certain: You'll never have to take up an
extra seat to bring your TV with you.
You can change channels and control your TV on your computer just
as if you were in your living room. The AV and Pro models add
remote control options for your home theater devices.
