    I love this thing, watch any Ch off your cable box any time. Very easy to set up, just plug and play for the most part. The down side; after paying $199-$399 for your unit, you then pay another $14.99 for the app on your smart phone or tablet. Now if your like me u have both Apple iPad and Android tablets and phones in the house. Guess what? You have to pay more then once if you want to use the Sling Box! " What the **** " that's what I said. I mean how hard is it to add an App activation code to the purchase. I understand they don't want people sharing there Sling Boxes like HBO Go passwords or Netflix. But having to pay 2 times 1 for Apple and 1 for Android kind of puts everything together way over priced. 5 stars if I did not have to pay for the app!
