Sling Media Slingbox Pro HD review

Sling Media's Slingbox PRO-HD is finally available in the UK, after being on sale in the US for over a year. Its key advantage over the original Slingbox Solo is HD support; where the original model was restricted to only streaming standard-definition,...

1080i support; sleek, neat design; easy to setup and use

No Freeview HD tuner; picture quality is dictated by internet speeds

Slingbox Pro-HD review

When it first came out, the Slingbox concept was ground-breaking. Five years later and we're less convinced. In a bid to offer specific solutions to specific types of customer, Sling Media has ended up offering less than the competition now does.

Sling Media Slingbox Pro HD review

Like previous Slingbox devices, such as the Slingbox Solo and the Slingbox Pro, the Slingbox Pro HD works by streaming video from a cable TV box, digital video recorder, or other home video source through the Slingbox unit, and then displaying the...

We would consider getting a Slingbox Pro HD if we were confident of having access to reliable, high-bandwidth broadband in places where we expected to watch remotely - and if we didn't insist on flawless performance. Otherwise, the Slingbox Pro HD's...

Slingbox Pro-HD Review

If you've never heard of Sling Media, or the Slingbox media content streaming range, then the thought of trying to access your home entertainment setup whilst on the go may not have even crossed your mind. If it has, though, then there is no doubt some...

I’m going to put it out there and say that I love the idea of the Slingbox. However, is it worth the £200 for the sake of throwing the ‘HD’ on the end? No, considering there are so many faults in the implementation of HD streaming whether they be the...

Slingbox Pro-HD review

The Slingbox Pro-HD has been a long time coming. It's Sling Media's first new consumer set top box in its line for two whole years, and a lot has happened in the time between: the increasing presence of HTML5 video suited for mobiles, Flash...

Better streaming picture, when it works

No HDMI, no WiFi, always the issue of IR compatibility

Sky HD subscribers away from home a lot could appreciate its potential - but keep the receipt in case set up doesn't quite go to plan

Quick Review What is it? Slingbox Pro-HD place shifts your television content to where ever you have an Internet connection. What's Cool: Easy setup if you have the right connections available. Stylish device. Does what it says it does. What's Not: HD...

The Slingbox Pro-HD is a great device. The downsides are you cannot watch 1080P content, nor can you use HDMI for your HD components. However, 720P HD using the component cables gets around any weird HDCP issues and video quality is excellent as long...

Review: Slingbox PRO-HD

I've been a big follower of the Slingbox since it came out. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to play with one until recently. I'm kind of glad I waited this long. That's because the first Slingbox I got was the new Slingbox PRO-HD. The key...

Funciona perfeitamente. É um aparelho muito prático e fácil de instalar. No meu caso, minha conexão permite ver imagens como se eu estivesse em casa. Para quem assina ZON, o modelo de controle escolhido não é Thomson, tem que ser o OctalTV Satellite....
