The Slingbox is a groundbreaking piece of hardwired ingenuity that will literally transform the way you watch television. The Slingbox enables you to watch your TV programming from wherever you are by turning virtually any Internet-connected PC into your personal TV. Whether you're in another room or in another country, you'll always have access to your television.
That's because back home, you have a Slingbox sitting on top of or next to your television. The simple silver device looks suspiciously like a gigantic chocolate bar, but the technology inside is truly sweet. This award-winning gadget is a breakthrough device that enables you to watch and control your television programming from anywhere by turning any Internet-connected laptop or PC into a personal television, with NO monthly fees.
With a wave of a virtual magic wand, Slingbox placeshifts the television signal from your source device to your PC - located at home or 3,000 miles away - via the Internet. Thanks to the Slingbox, you can enjoy your home TV programming wherever you are - the office, a hotel room, your garden, even the bathroom - anywhere there is an Internet connection. You truly can watch and control your television anytime, anywhere - the power is in your hands. The SlingPlayer software works hand-in-hand with the hardware in the Slingbox to allow you to watch and control your TV on your computer. SlingRemote in SlingPlayer gives you full control over virtually any A/V device, from changing channels and viewing recorded content to fast-forwarding or setting up a season pass. So while your TV and Slingbox sit at home, you can be out and about with SlingPlayer.

*Only one one person can connect to a Slingbox at a time. - With a resizable window mode, full screen mode, and the Slingbar, the SlingPlayer software lets you watch your television however you want.

- Absolutely zero subscription fees! All you need to begin watching your TV anywhere is your Slingbox. You don't need to buy another computer just to watch it, and there are no monthly, yearly, hourly, or split-secondly subscription fees. That means you don't have to feel guilty about watching TV all the time now. (Well, unless you want your significant other to still love you.)
