The Slick Network

 
Three new versions of Sling Media’s Slingbox have been released recently. 

Here is some info from Slingmedia’s Website:

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*, you can watch your basic cable TV 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.

Slingbox AV

The Slingbox AV is the perfect companion for your DVR, digital cable, or satellite receiver (Got no box? Try the Slingbox Tuner  instead. Got HDTV? Check out the Slingbox PRO!).

With a Slingbox AV you will never be separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, breaking news stories, digital video recordings, or video on demand.

 

COMPLETE CONTROL

The Slingbox does a lot more than let you just watch your home TV channels over the Internet, it gives you complete control over your cable box, satellite receiver, or DVR. That’s right, every feature that’s available on your home remote control is accessible through the SlingPlayer interface! This means you can view your electronic program guide (EPG), change the channels, queue a recording on your DVR, or even watch pay-per-view movies.  All your favorite features are just a click away, even from half-way around the world (because whole-way around is back home).

Slingbox Pro

YOUR HOME THEATER AWAY FROM HOME

The Slingbox PRO is the perfect companion for your home theater. With the ability to watch and control one high definition video source* and up to three standard definition video devices, the Slingbox PRO ensures that you can watch all of your favorite home theater entertainment anywhere you go. Using an Internet-connected computer or compatible mobile phone**, you can watch and control your home TV, DVR, basic cable, digital cable box, or satellite receiver anywhere around your home or around the globe. With a Slingbox PRO you are never separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, breaking news stories, digital video recordings, or video on demand.

 

ULTIMATE CONNECTIVITY

Connect and control up to four A/V sources. This means you can access your entire home theater, including digital cable, DVD players, TiVo, or any other new-fangled contraption you may have. HD READY The Slingbox PRO is HD Component video compatible (up to 1080i) when used with the optional Slingbox HD Connect Cable. The Slingbox and SlingStream technology adapts the compressed video stream to match the available network and Internet bandwidth. This provides the best possible video quality between the Slingbox and the SlingPlayer application, whether running on a computer or mobile phone**.

We have our hands on the first version of the Slingbox unit and it performs wonderfully.  We would like to test out the new units, but we may wait for the holiday price wars.
