Abstract: Being stuck on a train or in a foreign hotel room can be a boring experience, unless you happen to have a Slingbox to hand. The Slingbox Pro allows viewers to watch and control their home television using a PC or mobile phone anywhere in the world (any...
The Slingbox Pro has improved on the original in every respect. It's smarter on the outside, and smarter on the inside too. The increase in inputs adds flexibility, specifically the addition of component input. The increase in maximum quality is tangible,...
Abstract: Late last month, Sling Media announced the launch of the Slingbox Pro for the UK and thanks to Sling Media, Ive recently received a Slingbox PRO for a review.If you know what place-shift is, Im sure you know what the Slingbox is able to provide. If y...
Easy-to-use, friendly interface; video quality scales with your connection speed; complete control of device via virtual remote control.
No built-in Wi-Fi networking; connection through Apple wireless router requires manual configuration.
The Slingbox’s lack of built-in Wi-Fi support is unfortunate, and users of non-UPnP routers will need to manually configure their home networks in order to connect from outside the home. And for all but the most hard-core AV fans, the four-input...
Abstract: The original Slingbox was housed in a goofy ingot-shaped box. The Slingbox Pro is only slightly more attractive, but it’s eminently more capable. Unfortunately, you’ll need to spend one-third more than its $250 base price to enable some of its cooler f...

Streams home A/V to any broadband-connected Mac, Windows PC, Windows Mobile, or Palm Treo 700p device in the world; accepts HD video (with optional dongle); can accept as many as four A/V inputs (composite, S-Video, RF, and component); no host PC or mo...
Component-video adapter and cellphone/PDA viewing software costs extra; no built-in wireless networking support; monopolizes the attached device during viewing; Palm viewing software only works on Treo 700p.
While its ability to accept multiple sources and optional HD is overkill for most users, the more-expensive Slingbox Pro makes sense for hardcore Slingers with gobs of video gear. Price range: $228.00 - $247.00 See all products in the Sling Media Sling...
