SlingPlayer: Watch Live Cable TV on-the-Go

SlingPlayer is a media streaming app that allows users to watch and control their live cable TV subscription from a phone, tablet, or computer over the internet. It works with compatible Slingbox hardware devices.

What is SlingPlayer?

SlingPlayer is a media streaming application developed by Sling Media that allows users to watch and control their live cable, satellite, or over-the-air TV subscription from a phone, tablet, or computer over the internet. It requires a compatible Slingbox hardware device to be connected to the home TV setup.

The Slingbox works by taking the TV video input signal, digitizing it, and transmitting it over the local home network. The SlingPlayer app then allows the user to connect to the Slingbox over the internet and stream that video to their device, essentially allowing them to watch their home TV from anywhere. Features include:

• Watch and pause live TV on the go
• Flip channels, control DVR recordings
• Stream from multiple Slingboxes
• Optimized layout for phones, tablets, computers

Some key benefits are portability - bring your TV with you when traveling, and multi-screen viewing - watch in multiple rooms of the house on different devices. It requires an internet connection of at least 700kbps for smooth streaming. SlingPlayer is available as mobile apps for iOS and Android devices, as well as software for Windows and Mac computers.
