In our testing, the results were flawless. The biggest improvement of the new Slingbox line is that the blasters are now built into the box’s body (on front and the sides). In the past, that also meant stringing annoying IR blaster cables to sit in front of the cable box, thus allowing the Slingbox to pass along your remote commands (changing channels, play/pause, menu/guide, etc.). But at $15 each, the apps are pricey, and the iOS app is not universal - you’ll need to buy it once for your iPhone/iPod Touch, and again for your iPad (if you own both).Īs with past models, the Slingbox 350 is designed to sit on top of the cable/satellite box or DVR to which it’s connected. It’s also available as an app for iPhone (and iPod Touch), iPad, Android phones, Android tablets (including the Kindle Fire line), Windows Phone 7, and BlackBerry. The SlingPlayer viewing software works on Windows PCs and Macs via a free Web browser plug-in. That means you can watch your TV anywhere, on a wide variety of devices. Think of it as Netflix, but instead of streaming a catalog of on-demand title, you're streaming your TV programming, in real time. It takes any video signal you send into its AV inputs - such as your cable/satellite box or DVR - digitizes it, and streams it to you, live and in real time. The Slingbox is a personal video broadcaster.
It lacks those additional bells and whistles of its step-up sibling, but it focuses on its core competency - streaming high-def video to any location - and it does so in flawless fashion.

But the Slingbox 350 is no slouch, bringing full 1080p video-streaming to the party. As the premium price would imply, the 500 is the flagship Slingbox, including some first-time features like Wi-Fi connectivity, limited HDMI support, and the ability to stream photos and videos from phones and tablets.
