Technology is a beautiful thing. Except when you're on the road and missing your teams play. You don't want to read the tweets about the scores; you want to cheer at the plays. In real time. The desire to watch sports internationally was one of the inspirations for developing Slingbox. So you can keep up with every team from the World Series to the Super Bowl and every game in between, live or pre-recorded programs, kids' shows, your guilty-pleasure shows, and live hometown news while you're traveling. All with Slingbox.
How Slingbox works
Your Slingbox connects to your home network (via WiFi or Ethernet) and sits between your cable or satellite services set-top box and your TV. The TV signal comes from your set-top box and your Slingbox slings your TV programming to any of your devices, anywhere in the world. You can even watch or control your DVR. Or even use a streamer to watch your TV on a second television. Get the most value from your cable or satellite subscription with a Slingbox.
How to use your Slingbox
We believe that if something is designed perfectly, then it shouldn't need instructions on how to use it. Instructions: Connect your Slingbox device at home. That's it!
But we're going to write another sentence here so you know that once you’re connected at home, you can watch live and pre-recorded programs, sports, documentaries, comedies, tragedies, (also known as: the news), from any device, in any location – on your laptop in the living room, your tablet in Turkey, or your mobile phone in the ...oops... toilet.
