Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Slingbox M2 is a good product and I am relatviely happy with my purchase. The only complaint I have about this product is that when I am using my Slingbox, the tv that the box is connected to (in my house) will only play what I am watching on whatever device I am using my Slingbox account on i.e. computer, Iphone, etc. So when I am watching the game on the road, my family is watching the game at the house.

I upgraded to this model from the original Slingbox. Easy set up and the iPhone and iPad apps work well with nice features. HD is incredible to view on an iPad.

My husband travels a lot so having these makes it easier for him to access and watch the cable channels we subscribe to live. Fast and easy wifi set up.

I received a Slingbox as a gift from my tech savvy son. I must say that being able to access cable TV from my phone is very cool and the video quality is perfect.

This has allowed me to watch games at work without signing up for all those other expensive apps to watch ballgames.

I purchased this after switching TV Providers and discovering their app was lacking in the ability to watch programs from your DVR in-home and out-of-home on a tablet or smartphone. My previous provider aloud this. The product works well for it's purpose but is slow to respond back from the DVR since it's a live feed. It get's the job done but a TV providers app is still superior.

Works as advertised. Like being able to view my home tv channels and DVR when away. Setup was easy and it works on all my devices - cell phone, iPad, tv.

In order to work you need component cables, not HDMI. My cable box only has HDMI.

Like the ability to steam what my TiVo cannot when I'm out of the home.

The Slingbox M2 works great as long as you have a wired connection or good steady wi-fi on your streaming device. Unfortunately, when used in an apartment complex with severe wi-fi interference, the signal tends to drop out, and the connection needs to be restored or restarted. As this is no longer an issue for me, the device is working great, but buyer beware!

Excellent functionality...fully cable with little or no performance issues as long as you have high speed internet at both end of transmission

Lets me watch my local sports teams when I am out of my local area. Gives a good streaming picture which is close to what I get at home

works as expected. Allowed us to watch tv at the lake house

We have a second home and have been unhappy with the cable service. The Slingbox has solved our problem and saved us money. The only thing we pay for at our second home to receive television is wifi. We were paying for that anyway, so we feel like we are getting our T.V. for free. Balance what you pay monthly for cable against the cost of the Slingbox and you will quickly recover the cost of the box. The app. is free. I have the app on my tablets and phone so I can watch T.V. anywhere.

I use this is in a second house so I only Ned to pay for my service in one location and watch remotely using an Amazon Fire Stick

We have had Slingbox for years and the new one streams even better than the last. For those that travel....a must have.

Makes connecting to your cable box remotely a breeze.

This is my 2nd m2, unfortunately the first got blasted to the heavens by a bolt of lightning. Luckily this time around if it happens again, geek squad will replace it! The controller use is much better on bigger devices, anything 9" or higher will do the trick.

Easy to set up. Works as advertised. Able to watch my shows anywhere anytime. All I need is an internet connection.

I purchased this as part of my move to NYC in an attempt to save some cash with cable costs and such. The Slingbox was connected at my parent's house in VA. We could never stream at HQ, only the medium quality. Not sure if this was attributed to the uploads/download speeds, but we have 50 mbps speeds at both ends, which I believe is pretty fast. Aside from the lackluster streaming quality, it was a pretty seamless installation. However, the fact that I couldn't stream at HQ leads me to a 3 star rating.
