This is the only way to extend your cable tv subscription to a second home or to watch your favorite sports team while traveling. Bring your Chromecast along to pair it and you have a complete solution any time you are away from home. I use it with the sling app on my android and the Roku box. Unbelievable quality.

No hdmi connections, but component picture was better than expected. What I disliked the most about the product is your satellite or cable box has to be on to view remotely. Does the job.

I have had the first generation of Sling Box and this is a well deserved upgrade!!! With wifi availability and the available HD connections make this a no brainier to have in your home. What makes it even better now is the option to get the associated applications on as many portable portable devices you have for free!!! Back when it was first released I dropped $15 for it!!!

Set up was easy and worked right out of the box. It's small and doesn't take up much space which is a bonus. The only consideration is the wifi internet upstream. There are times when the screen freezes but the technology works great and worth it.

Only works consistently when the tv is on. New broadcast controls on many channels generate an error that the HDMi output is not supported and to switch to composite. This would mean I have to unplug the TV connection every time I might be using sling box
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love this unit because I can watch my home TV stations anywhere. Catch any of the local sports teams, news, etc...
Only slight complaint is the sounds sometimes will make crackling noise. Not often but does happen occasionally. Other than that this has been one of the best things I have ever purchased.

I had to upgrade my slingbox from the classic due to my directv box upgrade. It does the job well. There are some streaming hiccups here and there but I think it may be my network. The Mac app doesn't work with this slingbox but the web browser does work. The iOS apps still work fine with this one.

Take your cable TV with you! Not every cable channel has "TV Everywhere" capability. No worries... just connect your Slingbox to your cable at home and start watching! Works inside your home network or anywhere you have Internet access. The app/web site may take a little getting used to but once you have mastered them it's as easy as using your remote control!
Avoid Sports Blackouts! Watch all your local channels while traveling! No TV in the backyard? No problem.. bring your iPad with you and keep an eye on the game while enjoying the great outdoors.
I swear I'm real and not some marketing person. I had one of the original Slingboxes but since they upgraded to HD, I was just waiting for the right time to upgrade my box. The M2 is quick and easy to hook up and I was watching in less than 10 minutes. The new lower price hit the mark.
If only they would get rid of the ads on the SlingPlayer. I guess that's the trade off for not paying for the app like the old days.

I had a Slingbox solo which in the day worked good but at the last was dropping the signal. So I decided to try the wireless M2. It works great. I watch it on my PC and Roku. It only has one component input. it would be great if they added an hdmi input. other than that its great.

I bought this Slingbox to use when on vacation although you do need Internet access it works well with my Directv service. I have access on my iPad and iPhone only wish that Apple TV would add Slingbox to their content along with what's already there. Very happy with my purchase.

We have been debating about purchasing the SlingBox for some time, and now that we have it, it is used a lot. We live abroad, and now we can see all of our live Florida TV whenever we want. Picture quality is very good. The only thing we still have to correct with SlingBox is the remote control. When we want to pick our channel, it takes several tries to connect to the right channel. Other than that, we have already recommended it to several friends. Great when travelling as well!
