I have used previous place-shifting devices and I must say this new one from Sling is the best! It was super easy to setup and the quality of the video is amazing! I now am able to watch my TV on my phone and "cast" it to my 55 inch TV with great quality.

Was looking for a way to get cable at my summer home without paying for cable. This was the perfect solution. Easy set-up and easy for kids to use.

I bought the first slingbox ever made available and had to replace it. This one did it. I probably use slingbox everyday and this one covers it. Worth the money if you want to take your tv (via internet/smart device)with you wherever there is wifi.

I love this purchase. I only wish I bought a model where I don't interfere with someone watching the same cable box the sling box is hooked up to....other than that it's a great buy!!

I basically live at my girlfriends house but she doesnt have cable. As a big sports fan, I needed cable for specific channels that arent available through streaming apps such as NBC Sports, Fox Sports Go, or even Sling TV's a la carte packages (although they have lot to offer for monthly subscriptions less than what cable companies charge). I connected the slingbox to an extra cable box at my parents house and ive been able to pick it up through the Fire Stick at my girlfriend's house on the Sling Player app. As long as you have good networking in both locations the stream is pretty darn good. I downloaded the Sling Player app on my phone and I am able to watch TV at work as well. You can bring it anywhere. It is a great solution that has been a game changer.

The sling box works well on my computer with the slingbox app..which is free...I was also able to watch TV using my samsung phone slingbox app for android...also free. I cast it onto my tv using the chromecast app on my phone. it was very simple. It has a great guide showing what is available to be watched on tv...hd channels filter..You can watch what is on your dvr. I haven't used this yet. I would suggest you have a separate dvr/or digital box to hook upto to so it doesn't hijack your main tv...I. e. if you are out of town and others are at your home watching your main tv you will be able to change the digital box channels it is plugged into. My main reason for purchase is to use at cottage and catch up on my dvr ...you just need wifi to watch.

I had always heard of Slingboxes in the past and being somewhat of a tech geek, I stayed away, knowing that an HD signal would be garbage at the other end. Not the case in this day and age of fast internet speeds. I bought this device for my son to use in his college dorm. He now hooks up into his cable box in his bedroom at home and has FULL control, including the DVR and pausing, rewind and fast-forward. For you to be able to get a somewhat HD picture, the connection at home AND the wifi wherever you are viewing from must be fast. Otherwise, the picture will freeze and the device will ask you to pick lower quality which usually fixes the problem. Installation is easy and we got it going in less than 10 minutes. Definitely recommend.

Bought this box so my son could watch our local sports teams. It was not the easiest to set up. We needed to purchase an extra device to make it transmit in color.

Good quality with 10 Mbps internet connection speed. Quality is dependent on network speed. Good product for the price
