- Sling Media has released two new devices that stream 1080p HD content to TVs, PCs, tablets and smartphones. The new devices are the first from the company in four years.
- Both provide HD streaming. The $300 Slingbox 500 features HDMI connections and dual-band Wi-Fi, while the $180 350 model is more compact and has simplified the set-up process.
- “The 500 adds a rough first go of a promising new feature called SlingProjector which makes it possible to stream content, such as photos, from your mobile devices or computers back to the TV,” reports CNN.
- “The company is also updating the companion software, SlingPlayer, and temporarily dropping its price from $30 to $15 for iOS, Android and Windows Phone apps,” adds the article.
- CNN notes one limitation: The TV can only be controlled by one person at a time, “so if you’re trying to stream ‘True Blood’ from a hotel in New York while your husband and kids are watching ‘SpongeBob’ at home in California, their channel will change.”
