Great product, but not tech support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Slingbox provides the service I was looking for--to significantly reduce need for cable provider. However, initial set up required a call to Customer Support who was not terribly helpful. Ultimately, I figured it out and it is working very well.

Can't review yet, will update later after first us
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took the unit to my 2nd home and forgot the remote. I was unable to setup the system without the remote. I will attempt to set up again in a few weeks. There is 600 miles between the two points.

TV ALMOST anywhere
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Get TV almost anywhere. You can expect loading to occur often through wifi and more often through 4g. Quality picture is less than I would have expected. Still, it is giving me my football team when and where I want it. I would buy it again.

Does what it's supposed to
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straightforward set-up, but it is imperative to thoroughly read over the instructions first, even watching a few videos showing how to set it up are helpful. Nevertheless, once the user has an idea of what needs to be done, it is very easy. Product itself is very reliable, haven't had any issues with content delivery in terms of speed and quality.

Good device for watching tv in or away from home.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the slingbox. It really serves the purpose of watching tv away from home. This is very useful when traveling especially internationally. Also great when just on vacation statewide because you can view your own local channels or channels that may not be offered in a hotel. I haven't used the usb feature so no review given for this.

Does what it claims to
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product does what it claims to, although with a few quirks... Seems to stop broadcasting when the source TV is either auto-powered down due to energy saving settings, and will also shut off when the receiver cycles.

Nice upgrade from slingbox solo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Traded up from slingbox solo. My ability to connect from numerous sites has improved considerably. Also seem to get true HD images. Would recommend to anyone who wants to remain connected to their home video or tv source

Location Free Full TV Access!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item believing there was no way it would work as advertised, and I was totally wrong. Whether traveling or just sitting outside to watch ch a game; you are fully untethered from your tv and you can view every channel including premium. This is an awesome product, well worth what it cost!!!!

allows remote tv viewing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The slingbox is somewhat difficult to hook up if you have other peripherals plugged into your tv. But it works and allows remote viewing of tv so that expensive cable service can be reduced.
