Customer Ratings & Reviews

Slingbox doesn't have all cable boxes on website this its more of a challenge. Other than that, pretty simple to connect and SlingBox has GREAT customer service

Purchased 2 Sling Boxes so I could connect 2 different televisions in my shore home to do away with the cable bill.

Still learning it but so far it seems great for watching football when I'm away. Wish there was an easier way to sling to another tv though.

Set up was faster than I expected but you do need to reset your output if you switch from component to s-video. Seems to have less drop-frames and freezes than the last model.

This is my second Sling Box and I could not be happier with it. I would recommend setting it up with a hard line if possible. It definitely helps the streaming experience.

While changing channels could be slightly smoother, this is a great solution for watching tv on the go, or saving you the money of renting a 2nd or 3rd cable box.

I love being able to "watch" my home cable from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection. Wish box had a hdmi connection.

I love the SlingPlayer for situations in which a cable Jack isn't available where you need it. Plug up the SlingPlayer and use an apple tv on a remotely placed tv then you don't have to worry about that coax jack.

Bought specifically for usage when I am at another location without TV (don't want to spend the money). Combined it with a Roku at the remote location and works well. No need to spend the extra money for TV service. Only draw back was that it is HTMI only. So you would need to make sure your cable and TV has HTMI slots.

I'm amazed at how well this works. It took a few minutes to hook it up and add the remote sensor that was included. I love being able to stream a sports show to my phone anywhere I can connect to the internet. It could use a little better menu when connecting, but I was able to figure it out in a few minutes.

We purchased this for use when traveling. We have cable with premium channels at home and didn't want to waste that investment when we were "on the road". This made perfect sense to get the best of both worlds.

I have been using Slingboxes for years. It is a convenient way to watch my satellite TV stations from anywhere from any device. I also can check in and see what the kids are watching from another room.

I Love the Slingbox , I'm able to view my favorite Football team play for free when visiting out of state for free

We have experience with a Sling500. This M2 is simpler and more straightforward. Instead of continuing to pay crazy money to Directv to watch our favorite NFL team from afar, we bought an Over the air antenna, a cheap Homework HW150PVR, and this Slingbox M2 and set it up at a house in Wisconsin. We can now watch Milwaukee TV all the way in San Diego. Total cost $250, less than a single season of Sunday Ticket. Go Packers!

2nd one I purchased. Saving a second cable bill I would pay for at my other place by using this device.

Sling medium boxes truly TV on the go really enjoy it and would recommend it to a friend and family

I've been looking at Slingboxes for years and finally got one. Liked it so much that I bought my Son-in-Law one. I viewed mine when I was in the hospital for a week by hooking a FireStick to the hospital TV. The firestick is the easiest way to control the Slingbox, although the other ways are not hard. I use my Slingbox by means of the Firestick as a second program source for a second tv in my ManCave primarily.

This was good for the price. Video quality was very good on my iPhone with the app but the quality when using airplay to my apple TV wasn't as good. Overall for me it did the job while on vacation out of state I was able to get my local sports channels to watch my teams.

I travel outside of the country and was frustrated for a number of years for not being able to access college football and other programming. However, the slingbox has solved this problem. I can turn on the slingbox and my cablebox any time I want and watch my USA cable, for which I am already paying. Also, when using my iphone to watch TV, I noticed that the slingbox automatically disconnects itself if you did not disconnect it (maybe it is only my cablebox), so if you are connecting back with your phone after a day or two, it will seem like you do not have signal, but just press "power" on the system and the cablebox will go back on, and you can watch TV again. To avoid that when I am done watching TV in my phone, I now turn off the cablebox first and then disconnect from slingbox, and when I want to watch again, just connect and press "power". However, the software in computers makes it even easier, I just press watch TV and it takes care of everything. In conclusion, it is easy but you just have to figure out the details. Be aware that the signal quality and speed will depend on the internet at both ends.

This device is allowing me to cut cable from our vacation home. I can now pay ONLY for internet service and watch my cable box from my primary residence when I'm at our 2nd place and don't have to pay monthly bills when i only use it a few days a month in the off season. There are some bugs- occasional buffering and cumbersome remote interface from the phone but saving $85/month eases any frustration.
