Little Warning Regarding SlingBox
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't suppose Best Buy employees are knowledgeable about every product, but I received no warning about compatibility issues. I have DirecTV, and getting SlingBox M2 up and running has been a huge headache. No luck yet, despite conversations with both SlingBox and DirecTV. Some kind of disclaimer from Best Buy would have been nice.

Thought this was the ticket... was not
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Should have read the other reviews more closely. Wanted to be able to cast throughout my house. However the picture quality of the casting was not HD. Really can tell the difference watching sports. Decided to rewire part of the house instead. Might be OK for streaming remotely - but did not hit the mark for what I needed.

Couldn't get it to work - might have been faulty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unboxed it and got it connected to wifi pretty easily using WPS. Tried installing the software on one computer, but it froze up after installing and running. Tried installing on another computer and got a little further - it did see the Slingbox on the network. I got about halfway into configuring it but it hung up at the point where it was trying to configure the remote. Uninstalled the software, did a hard reset on the Slingbox, reconnected it to the wifi, tried again and it hung up in the same spot. Tried installing the Sligbox app on my Android tablet, thinking that might get further... alas, you can't configure the slingbox that way - you can only use it once it's already configured. At that point, I'd spent an hour of my life on this silly thing so I gave up and returned it.

Never got to use mine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because my room lacked an internet cable, so I needed an alternate way of getting cable in my room. I got this and it had the same issue.

Poor coverage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 100M and 300M from 2 different locations and Sling Box could only receive a handful of stations. I thought this would be a cord cutter but it just didnt work as I thought it would. Even when I tried it in my house it would connect then disconnect. I have Appple TV and other devices that I have absolutely no problems with. NONE. I have Spectrum and coverage in my home is excellent no problems. This may work for others but it was completely useless for my needs. I returned it.

Not so easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was a disappointment for me. It wasn't as easy to use especially since it does not support HDMI.

Awful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst piece of high tech gadgetry. Did not work. No HDMI interface. I have 150mbs connection and my network uses latest technology interface. And yet constant pixelation and dropped connections. Don't bother with this. Virtually no tech support either. Simply said....it's terrible. I'd give it zero stars but the review module doesn't give me that option.

Did Not Meet My Need
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product did not do what we needed. When calling in, they told me that in order to do what we needed, we would have to buy the $299 version (instead of the $99 version)

Fantastic So Far
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've only had the Slingbox M2 for two days, but I can't believe how well it works. The streaming quality on my Sprint mobile phone is far better better than any other streaming app I have. It seems to stay strong in locations whose poor signal quality would knock any other app out. It practically doesn't buffer at all, and the sound and picture quality are great.

Recommend
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using for nearly 2 weeks and it works great on my iPad and computer. Only issue is the remote works incredibly slow. You can press only 1 button every 3 seconds. Advertisements aren't a problem when you go to full screen. $150 is a fair price considering you don't pay for the apps.

This product is unbelievable great!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No matter where you are in your house, office, restaurants, as long as there is Wi-Fi, you are connected to the channels you have at home. Watching the World Series at a restaurant while enjoying a great dinner was a wonderful experience.
