Digital camera reviews of Sling Media Slingbox PRO (SB200-100)
Digital camera Review: Does NOT output HD video
Summary: 3 Stars
Just to make this perfectly clear, this thing does NOT output HD video to your computer. It takes HD input and scales it down to 640x480 before it streams it to your computer.
So it is not a method to save HD content on your computer.
Digital camera Review: Does exactly what it is supposed to really well
Summary: 5 Stars
My boyfriend is on 100% travel and purchased the slingbox to keep at my house so he could keep up with his shows on tivo and watch East coast football games when he is working in CA. It works amazing! He is considering buying another one just to hook up to a 400 disc DVD changer so his whole DVD library will be available no matter where he is in the world. Additionally, when he is gone we can also do dorked out things like watch Heroes together, me at home, him on his computer, that are actually really nice when you can't be with someone. Great picture, no lag time and super easy set up. Highly recommended.Digital camera Review: Don't buy this product if you have a mac.....yet
Summary: 1 Stars
The promotional material tells you it supports Macs. Amazon tells you Slingbox supports Mac. Hell, you order it and it even says it supports Mac on the box. But when you open up the contents, all that's inside is a Windows disk. Strange. So, you go to the Slingmedia website hunting for Mac drivers only to find there are none! Not yet anyway. Apparently they're in a private beta test.
That's totally unacceptable. You can't market a product for Mac when it doesn't work. Amazon - you should change your description immediately, and leave it that way until Mac drivers are available. And Slingmedia - you should be ashamed of yourselves. That's false advertising.
Not happy.
Digital camera Review: Easy Installation and it works!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product a month ago and didn't open the box until tonight because i thought i was going to need a bunch of time to figure this installation out. I was wrong, it took very little time and it worked perfectly from the get-go. I installed it on our two laptops and no problems, only disappointment is that it only works on one computer at a time.Digital camera Review: Easy Setup- Watchable!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just received from Amazon and the setup was easy, software downloaded from site and I was up and running. I have an HD 1920x1080 laptop display and the quality is surprisingly good even at full screen and thru wireless G.
My internet test had some dropout but sure will make a difference when I travel- rather than the crappy motel TV. I only used the composite outputs from my cable box.. I am anxious to see if there is a difference when I hook up component connections... there shouldn't be but we will see.
