Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very pleased with Sling Box it worked perfectly while on Caribbean Vacation along with Mexico a must for anyone who travels a lot and wants to watch all the sports available at home along with access to your DVR A+++++

The Slingbox M2 works as advertised. You'll need to download the free app for your phone or tablet. I would have given it 5 stars, except the M2 could not authenticate using the wireless mode with WPA2 Personal encryption and a long wifi password. (Mine is over 50 characters.) Short passwords worked, but are less secure, and in my case, I was unwilling to change the passwords on all my other wireless devices to accommodate this design defect. So, I elected to connect the M2 via an ethernet cable instead.

i live away from sports teams I follow. I put the sling box on a spare TV in a family members house so I can keep up with sports teams. The new model allows me to broadcast to my roku from my phone. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that it techs a minimal amount of tech savvy to set up

2 children in school that want to record and watch their tv programs. They love the easy of using this product and easy set up

The Slingbox is an incredible product that allows you (or a family member) to watch either live or recoded programs on your home's TV from a remote location on a tablet, laptop, etc. For a minimal investment of $119, my son can watch all his favorite sports events while living abroad. The Slingbox is wifi ready, the set up is easy, and it is compatible with either cable or satellite TV. The only requirement is that the TV be connected to the Internet.

So far I've been pretty happy with the purchase, but found out after purchasing it, it does not have the capability to output 5.1 sound when streaming. I also had some issues when using Ethernet instead of wifi. Usually Ethernet is more reliable and faster, but that is not the case with my slingbox. I'm not sure if it is hardware or software, but I dropped connection all the time when using Ethernet, so I went back to using wifi and it works fine again.

Still had to purchase a component box to allow A side video stream to my remote TV. This is necessary with HDMI signals coming off cable box. Most everything has moved to HDMI connection so why not just build it in. This is a good reason to stay with the M2 and not a higher set from sling box.

Works well with Direct TV. Relatively easy to set up.

Works great to watch your own tv while out, I use at work

Slingbox works, the problem is that it often drops out to the point of being annoying. I have high speed Internet at both my home and my vacation place 200 mIles away. I'm able to access my fios account from afar, using my smartphone and Chromecast. Ithe seems to work better at non peak use times. I'll probably keep it, but it is overrated.

I still own the very first SlingBox and it still works today, but its not HD. I am a big fan of the technology. This new one works well, but the Windows applications to support it are buggy and need more work. The Android and Web interface work OK, but if you leave the SlingBox app running in the background on your Android phone it will suck your battery dry! Other then those few complaints I love my SlingBox.

Purchased this instead of having a cable box in the kitchen. So far it works well, but the are some quirks. It can be a little temperamental the when it comes to setting it up with the Xfinity X1 platform. The guide won't load all the channels and the app itself does need a little work, especially if you buy the app at $15.

I like this product very much. Many people complained about the ads but they have not effected me because I have the app on my phone then send it to my roku to view on my TV. By doing this I do not get banner ads and I can view my services at my parents house.

great on computer and ipad. on iphone remote a little difficult but it worked well

I have used several of the older Slingboxes and all have worked well but the Slingbox M2 is a great improvement. The wifi addition is a big plus.

Easy to set up and great product. I watch all the Wild Hockey games at college and the University of Nebraska.

Great product especially when you're bored. Watching tv anywhere with internet

My old slingbox pro had bit the dust and this one plugged in and went work immediately in the same place.

Well worth the price! I use it all the time with my mobile devices and to sling to another TV in the bedroom without monthly charges for another cable box.

Works great for watching Football when you are away from home.
