no monthly fees for the slingbox, but you will obviously still pay for the cable box and their fees.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must have cable or other type of TV service provider. There is no additional charge. My carrier is comcast. I live just outside of Plilly. I hooked it up at my house and my daughter uses it in St Louis.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You don't have to pay for anything other than the box. Now that being said, you will have to watch a ~5-10 second commercial till you can click on the "Skip" arrow much like you have to on some Youtube videos. That only happens when you start the app which is managble to me. Now if that is a deal breaker for you, you can buy their premium app for $15 and that goes away. One thing to be aware of there is a significant lag between changing a channel or feature on your tv, it requires a bit of paitience.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Sling Box requires connection to a Cable Box and the internet, so you have your normal monthly cable/internet bill(s). You are also required to install an APP on your computer, IPad, etc. There are two APPs available one is free and the other is pay. The free APP appears to work fine. If you are connecting the Sling Box and want to watch TV, you might need to purchase an additional set of cables. The Sling Box does not use a HDMI cable to connect a HD TV. The Sling Box works best if you can have a direct (hardwired) connection to your internet router. Once, you have connected the Sling Box ithe online installation is very simple and straight forward. One thing to remember, when you are using the Sling Box on a mobile device (IPad, phone) outside your home it requires both the internet connection at home and on the mobile device. So you are using data from both your plans unless you are connected the a wifi system. The Sling Box is a wonderful device and would recommend it to anyone on the go. Hope this helps answer your questions.
