SlingBox PRO-HD finally ships |
The SlingBox was one of the first time and place shifting devices that would send programs from the TV to the PC. The interesting device let users shoot their favorite programs to the PC for viewing and recording in DVR-like fashion.
Back at CES in January, we talked a bit about the PRO-HD SlingBox that was unveiled. Sling Media announced today that the PRO-HD is finally shipping. Yeah, it took long enough for Sling Media to actually ship the device, which isn’t so cool.
What is cool is that the PRO-HD was going to retail for $400 when talked about at CES and now that it is actually shipping, the price is a much more respectable $299.99. The PRO-HD allows streaming of all HD content from set-top boxes and other HD sources. DVR functionality of pause and rewind is offered as well.

That’s really awesome. I have one of the first gen slingboxes and it’s great. Although Im curious how it’ll run with an HD signal. My connection had to be pretty good for a constant picture, HD could make that all the harder. I guess for the time being I’ll stick with Blu-Ray for my HD needs. I’ve actually been working with Warner Home Video on some projects and know they’ve got a lot of great stuff coming.
