    "...is a great concept and I really liked this option since there was no monthly fee, but it did not work out for me." Read more

    Have Cable/DVR Will Travel!
    OVERVIEW: I use to own an older version of SlingBox. It worked great for many years. I travel all the time and really loved being able to watch my tv & dvr at home! The box eventually wore down and broke. After it broke, I bought a knock off version of the same thing. I used that for 1 year, realized it was terrible. Now I am back to this SlingBox!DELIVERY: The SlingBox was delivered in this nice compact packaging. In the box it contained, an IR cable, a power cord, & a set of component cables. It was original packaging and unopened.SET UP: This was the easiest set up I have ever had with SlingBox or the other version. I got everything plugged in. Then I used my laptop to finish the set up, per the instructions. It took about 5 minutes of it automatically running through everything, and it worked! It was sooo easy!OPERATION: The SlingBox works great. I have used it at home and on the road. I watched my tv on my wifi, hotel wifi, cell data. I have also used the desktop application, ipad app, android app, and browser player to stream my tv. It works on all these devices. I have been extremely pleased! The only thing that I will say about it, is when I watch sports it tries so hard to continuously change the picture quality. When things aren’t moving fast (in between plays) it gets a great quality, then play starts again and the quality drops. The problem is, it pauses about half a second every time it changes the quality it is streaming. This needs to be made smoother. It was particularly a problem on the Ipad app.SUMMARY: As a frequent traveler, this is exactly what I need! I recommend this product.
