Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Puntos Fuertes: Innovative technology, good stream quality, easy to link connect remotely

Puntos Débiles: Can be difficult to configure network if you have a complicated dual-network router system at home

The Slingbox is an amazing, must have device for all television and DVR lovers. It allows you to "place shift" your television signal so that you can watch it anywhere you have a broadband Internet connection. The best part about it is that the product truly meets up to its marketing claims. The Slingbox can be difficult to install if you have MORE than one network router in your house, but...

Cool device

Puntos Fuertes: + Fairly easy to setup + Software updates available online + Decent quality if you have good bandwidth + Works with ReplayTV, Tivo, cable boxes, and more

Puntos Débiles: - Need to make sure you have a good connection to the internet - No Mac client!

I set up my Slingbox before going to visit my folks and was excited to be able to control my ReplayTV from across the country. The quality is pretty good considering I have basic DSL. The software setup was very straightforward. I'm also glad that the software on the device can be updated, so hopefully it will be able to interface with new DVRs, satellite boxes, etc. as they come along. I wish...

This is a fantastic invention!

Puntos Fuertes: Easy to set up with newer routers; Watch recorded shows or live TV away from home; Great for travelers.

Puntos Débiles: Requires a broad band connection at both ends, home and away.

This is a terrific invention. No hard drives, no subscription fees. Simply connect SlingBox between your TiVo or ReplayTV and your broadband router (also works with cable or satellite box). Install the SlingBox software on your laptop, connect to the internet from anywhere in the world (broadband connection REQUIRED) and you can watch your favorite live or recorded programs. Keep in mind, if your...

Best Consumer Electronic Gizmo of 2005

Puntos Fuertes: Watch TV from any broadband location. Well executed and supported. New features added monthly.

Puntos Débiles: Can't directly timeshift content. Only one user at a time.

Ground-breaking technology. This device allows me to watch my Chicago cable TV service while in Paris. It converts the TV signal into an internet transmission. The image is only about 4 x 3 inches in size on my higher density 1680 by 1050 notebook screen but looks very clean and highly viewable. Sound quality is excellent. Transfer rates ranges from 400 to 700 kbps. Another feature of this...

Great Product - Does what it was designed for!

Puntos Fuertes: Easy setup, flexible, video quality, usability, support

Puntos Débiles: 1 stream at a time, my upstream bandwidth

Yes, as 1 reviewer pointed out there are limitations to this box - 1 user connected at a time; 1 input in use (internal tuner, OR composite in OR svideo in); but this device does what it was designed to do BEAUTIFULLY! Of course they need to restrict to 1 session online at any given time; can you imagine what the RIAA and MPAA would do if people begin broadcasting "free cable, free directv, etc"...

AWESOME. SIMPLY AWESOME. THE FUTURE OF TELEVISION IS...

Puntos Fuertes: Ability to watch and control your Tv from anywhere. great support from sling community. quality is as best as your bandwidth

Puntos Débiles: audio bit rate could be cranked up a bit but this is easily remedied in future firmware, software player...otherwise, this box is simple awesome!

This slingbox device is really great and clever. with the popups of all these various wireless hotspots, as well as the the future decline in prices of cellular data plans, you will be able to watch your tv from anywhere, imagine sports anywhere! your local news anywhere! you can be anywhere literally. the software is nice too and future upgrades will have the ability to install to a flash disk...

Nice gadget but the software needs major rework!

Puntos Fuertes: resonable price, great video quality, great hardware

Puntos Débiles: no browser plug-in, only 1 stream at the time, only one of the 3 available inputs can be used, way too few remote codes

I bought the unit beginning of June '05 right after it came out. When I installed it I was disappointed that it was missing the remote control codes for most of my equipment. For the few devices that were in the list, the codes didn't work. The technical support was not able to give me any hints. Since all the stores are sold out I am not able to get a replacement. I will probably return the box...

Great device, placeshifting rocks

Puntos Fuertes: cheap ($180 of amazon!), reliable, lets me watch tv on my notebook anywhere

Puntos Débiles: no mac support, only 1 user at a time

I'm a big fan of the slingbox--like many others who have brought the product I heard about it from word-of-mouth from my friends. The slingbox is a device that lets you watch TV on your laptop anywhere you are. It streams the TV from your cable box, TiVo, ComCast DVR, or any other device onto your PC. It only supports Windows PCs--no linux or Mac OS X support yet. The slingbox works; I've used it...
