I’m mad at the salesperson at Compusa for saying I could use my older sling box with the new iPad “just by connecting” to the Internet. He implied there were no extra expenses involved. Then slingbox says $30! Slingbox implies the same thing on the box. Where is truth in advertising? Why can’t Safari show videos from my slingbox the same way I can watch YouTube? Just more crooks involved in the electronics industry.

This is really good app review. This is true that it stream the VGA quality video. I hope they will give better update with HD streaming with HD standard quality of 1280*720.

I own two Slings, a Pro and an AV, both blocked in the app from connecting. Everytime a post to Slings forum is placed their mods delete. I have been so happy for my Slings, which are placed in the US, while I am in Europe, However, this latest scam will cause me to never recommend them again. If the Sling logic held true, then my new laptop with Full HD should not be allowed to connect either, but it actually does. Take a look thru the discussions to see all the probelems they are having with this HD, before you invest in this.Most people are not seeing any HD video at all. Most people do not have the upstream bandwidth to stream HD either. It seems like a scam to get people to purchase a new disposable peace of hardware that will be obsolete as soon as a new fancy device, like the IPAD comes out.
Yes I am disappointed, because I was looking forward to this app for a while now.

The HD reference is due to the slingplayer’s two options of HD and SD. I think anyone who owns a slingbox knows the quality is no in fact HD rather it’s their named option for viewing. HD has become too commonly used term…saw razor the other day and I am almost certain it does not shave in 1080.

Why do people think this app streams in “high definition?” Regardless of Slingbox model, it streams at 640×480, or standard definition VGA.
