Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Slingbox is a really great device. It allows you to replicate essentially and your TV is by streaming into a device. If you use your phone or tablet it works perfectly. I also use it to stream to my Roku TV which works flawlessly. Donely downfall is that changing the channel does take a bit of patience. Of course since it is a stream it is not a direct channel change and takes about five seconds to load and D buff. Overall the streams work great as long as your Internet connection is good but that is obvious. The overall device is an excellent purchase. I highly recommend this device.

Nice picture on apps. Easy to use and you control you TV .

Needed to update my slingbox solo to work with Amazon Fire TV Stick, works great and easy to setup!

Set up the Slingbox in NYC and now we can watch all the NYC channels in another home in Canada without the expense of having to pay for cable in Canada. The instructions are not so self-explanatory but once we got it up and running, worked out great! Just upload the "slingplayer" app to your phone or computer, connect to your slingbox and watch TV on your phone or computer. You can also put a streaming device [like Roku] on your TV and watch LIVE TV ANYWHERE!

For anyone that's had it with annoying buffering from their cable company's TV streaming, get this little box. Initial setup can be a little confusing especially with WI-FI. Just make sure the Slingbox and device you're casting to are on the same network. Also make sure you download the phone, tablet, PC, or Mac specific app for each device. The tablet app for example will not work with your phone. App can be a bit temperamental at times, especially when trying to initially connect. Some of the app's graphic interface is not as intuitive as I would have liked. It takes a little while to learn how to navigate through the options. OK, now the pluses. The picture quality is great. True HD with very little or no buffering. I can even watch DVR recorded shows on my tablet. The coolest feature is the virtual TV remote. It’s an on-screen replica of your TV/cable remote. The free app has some startup ads, which are not overly intrusive. In fact, you can skip the commercial after a few seconds. A great little device (much smaller than I thought it would be) that very effectively acts as a second cable box. The somewhat minor caveats expressed above prevent me from giving it a full 5 stars.

Set up and working like a charm. Would have been 5 stars but I just started using it. No problems at all though. Seems well worth it.

I used the component connection from my cable box to the SlingBox and again from the SlingBox to the TV. Previously I had connected my cable box to the TV using an HDMI cable. For whatever reason my TV picture improved significantly. Could have been a poor HDMI cable as I was using what Comcast supplied. Love the SlingBox. Great picture on my iPhone and iPad. We use the iPad as a remote TV when we're working around the house. I watch TV on my phone while in the parking lot when my wife is shopping.

Had a previous model a year ago and had to return it as could not make it visible over my internet connection. I bought this newer model and could not be happier. Installs easily and the picture quality is great from anywhere with an Internet connection on my phone and tablet.

This Slingbox M2 has worked perfectly. I use it so that I can watch cable tv in my vacation home without needing to pay a second cable bill.

No complaints about the product as far as how it works. Great signal, easy to use and set up. Unfortunately, there are ads with the web player which are very annoying.

Took away one star due to lag. Every time you press a button on the virtual remote, there is noticeable and significant delay, and the stream actual freezes, not sure why. Video streams great, but controls are kind of clunky. I use the IR cable, due to device location, not sure if that introduces the lag. Other than waiting for the device to respond after remote commands, it works great.

Serves its purpose well. I enjoy it in my home office so much I've bought one for my niece as a high school graduation gift. I use it with my Roku 3.

Wanted to have the ability to stream programs to upstairs bedrooms. Used by guests with no complaints. It works best with a fast internet connection.

Slingbox fairly simple to connect and configure. All equipment required for hookup included in the package.

If you're on the road as much as I am, particularly if you travel overseas, the Slingbox is a god-send. You can watch & control your own TV back at your house, from anywhere that has an internet connection. I've been a user since the very first slingbox came out, and they just keep getting better. I bought this unit on sale, which made the deal even better.

Everything is working as advertised, the the gripes i have is when i first setting it up it was difficult to figure out the exact format my tv and projector, like getting 16:9 and 1080p it was trial and error figuring out if it was my cablebox or sling box itself everything was trial and error and you have to do alot of research and forums. Slingbox website was little help. the second gripe I have is the ability to watch 2 tvs at the same time kinda defeats the purpose of having this gadget. But it works when your all away and you have internet access

Sling box allows you to access your home TV from anywhere! Being away from home during the World Series and college football season can be rough. Never miss a game again with sling box.

My Sling is connected to Verizon Fios box. I used the RCA connection to connect from the FIOS box to SLING and then another RCA connection to connect to a TV. FIOS does not allow using HDMI for two outputs. The picture is stable, sound is great.. The remote is on the screen and easily learnt. It was easy setup and I am very happy with my purchase.

Love this sling box. It's easy to setup. Now I can watch cable TV anywhere on my iPhone. The only thing is that one person could connect to the box at one time. The app is free to download and the signal is in HD quality.

The Slingbox M2 allows you to watch you own cable TV when you are away from home. It is fairly easy to setup by following the instructions. Access with your computer, tablet or cell phone wherever you have internet connection. Not the same quality as HD at home, but a decent picture to watch your favorite TV shows or sports.
