Sling Media Slingbox Pro-HD Video Player Review

Like previous Slingbox devices, such as the Slingbox Solo and the Slingbox Pro, it works by streaming video from a cable TV box, digital video recorder, or other home video source through the Slingbox unit, and then displaying the video footage on your network- or Internet-connected Windows laptop. (Software for playing high-def content is not yet available for Macs or for mobile devices that support standard-definition streams).
