The software is designed as extension of the company's Slingbox hardware, which broadcasts TV from a person's home to a remote Internet destination. Using SlingPlayer, people should be able to view streams, change channels and control DVR un... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/12/slingplayer.app.without.3g/ Tue, 12 May 2009 16:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/29/att.anti.sling.tos.returns/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/slingplayermobile-iphone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T on Wednesday quietly updated its cellphone terms of service to again potentially ban devices like the Slingbox on its network. Having initially pulled earlier changes in what was described as "an error," the carrier has again modified the terms to specifically prevent "redirecting television signals for viewing on Personal Computers." It's not evident whether the phrasing refers to any PC-l... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/29/att.anti.sling.tos.returns/ Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/26/slingcom.launches/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/slingcom.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sling Media today officially kicked off the public beta of Sling.com, its new video portal. The website is aimed at competing with sites hosting commercially produced content like Hulu or Joost and primarily syndicates content from about 90 major TV and online producers, including channels Hulu omits such as CBS as well as the very same Fox and NBC content.

The hub has a pair of USB ports that allow it to pipe H.264, MPEG-2/4, WMV and XviD video plus related audio-only formats to the TV from an external hard drive or flash drive, up to and including 720p and 1080i HD clips.

The device carries its own ATSC and ClearQAM hybrid tuner and will pick up either 720p or 1080i TV from cable, satellite and over-the-air broadcasts that can be shared either at home or online; on the local network, computers can watch and control the TV feed at its native resolution... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/25/slingbox.pro.hd.ships/ Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/wb.signs.internet.partners/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/warner.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Warner Bros. Television is expanding its internet distribution, announcing new deals with TiVo, Joost, Sling Media, Daily Motion and Veoh Networks for a ìnumber of advertiser-supported branded channels.î The deal includes TheWB.com ad KidsWB.com, which were announced in April.

The software is described as a "proof of concept" developed using jailbroken iPhones but offers much of the same functionality as the released applications for Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, and other cellphone platforms. Users can navigate a Slingbox network streaming hub... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/09/sling.mobile.for.iphone/ Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/09/slingcatcher.delayed/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/slingcatcher-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sling's long-awaited Sling Catcher is suffering from a delay that will most likely push its release to late 2008. The delay was discovered by Engadget reader "Christopher", who was a prospective customer of Sling's, noting that the vice president of sales Gregg Wilkes sent him an email informing him that the device was not up to the company's high standards. Wilkes also cited that the company's re... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/09/slingcatcher.delayed/ Thu, 10 Apr 2008 02:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/slingplayer.mobile.for.uiq/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/slingplayermobile-uiq.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sling Media on Thursday said it would expand SlingPlayer Mobile to add support for phones running the UIQ operating system.

The initial lineup will include the P1i (pictured) and P990i smartphones, the M600i, a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/slingplayer.mobile.for.uiq/ Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/07/slingcatcher.slingmodem/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0801/slingcatcher-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sling Media very early Monday heated up the challengers to the Apple TV and other media hubs with a finalized announcement of the SlingCatcher, its first device designed to bring computer content to a TV.
