Review: Slingbox Pro (Part 1)

Watching live TV on the computer has never been easier thanks to Slingbox. I first heard of Slingbox roughly two years ago. Such device was still new and somewhat pricey. Sony even had their own version of such device which is now called “LocationFree® TV Box”. In the eyes of many Slingbox was one of the first in this particular industry. Sling Media (the manufacturers of Slingbox) introduced its new line of Slingbox on September 28th, 2006. They introduced Slingbox Pro, Slingbox AV, and Slingbox Tuner; the succesors of the original Slingbox.

A friend asked my help to set up his new Slingbox pro. He wanted to connect the Slingbox pro to his HDTV receiver, but unfortunately the Slingbox HDTV adapter was back-ordered. We decied to connect the Slingbox Pro to a standard cable TV for the time being. The installation was easy and we watched TV on a Macbook Pro shortly after within the local area network.

So far it has been a pleasant experience
