Live TV on your mobile with Slingbox

Bookmark and Share

Sling Media recently unveiled two new version of its TV streaming devices that let you watch TV from pretty much anywhere on a computer, tablet or smartphone.

The Slingbox 500 and Slingbox 350 bridge your set-top box or DVR to the Internet so you can view your media. Both are capable of 1080p.

The lower cost Slingbox 350 connects via Ethernet and composite video cable. It is priced around $180. The $300 Slingbox 500 adds Wi-Fi and HDMI connectivity.

I'm testing these on the iPhone, iPad and my Android tablet. In addition to those, Slingbox supports Windows Phone and the Kindle Fire.  The requisite SlingPlayer app costs $14.99.

I'd love to hear your experiences with Slingbox.
