What a Complete Joke

User Score: 2.png This worked for a very short time. If you change your router, you have to start all over. Then when you call tech support you get folks that you can't understand who want to charge you 49 bucks, don't buy this piece of crap. Even when it "works" it is like watching a bad movie from 1950.

SlingBox is the best gadget of all time!

User Score: 10.png I watch my favorite TV shows on my PC and my cell phone anywhere at anytime. Waiting in an office, getting my nails done, in a car as a passenger,etc. My favorite gadget of all times.

The slingbox sucks....excuse me but it does

User Score: 2.png I've spent 20 + hours on the phone trying to get my Slingbox working again and again. It worked and then it didn't work. I had to un-install and install several times. It worked and then it didn't work. When you're remote no one will help you. They tell you to call back when you're back at home so you can see what the Slingbox is doing. Well it works when I'm home, but it doesn't work when I'm remote. Isn't that the whole point, to view you TV/DVR while you're away from home. Bottom line ....DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY....I wish I could get mine back, but I can't.

RIP OFF TECH SUPPORT

User Score: 2.png They want to charge you $29.99 for every time they help you trouble shoot a problem! RIP OFF save your MONEY! They told me I could call back if my remote viewing didn't work! NOW 4 days later. SORRY that will be another 29.99 to assist you. Buy a HAVA instead.

A great concept, just not working for me.

User Score: 6.png I am a bit disappointed. The setup was the easy part, but the big downside is that my laptop cannot cannot to my Slingbox unless I am on my Wi-Fi at home; absolutely will not connect from the internet anywhere else. Could be that I use Verizon broadband outside the house and AT&T Uverse with 2Wire router at home. It also will not work with my Blackberry Storm, so I am thinking about taking it back.
