However, on the bright side, the getting the SlingBox working will be easy and quick for the average consumer. Also, despite the box advertising support for HD inputs, they didn’t include a set of Component video cables. If I had to suggest an improvement, the inclusion of Wi-Fi would have helped since my router was on the other end of the room. Within just a few minutes, I was ready to go without any obstacles.

There was even a live video preview and a virtual remote that let me switch channels during the setup process.

After a few minutes, I was ready to continue with the setup process.Ī walk-through wizard guided me through selecting the video source, picking the model of my TiVo, and keying in my ZIP code for a digital TV Listings Guide.

There was a notification regarding a new firmware upgrade for the SlingBox and with one-click, it began updating. I didn’t have to forward ports or do anything remotely technical. The browser soon restarted and automatically detected my SlingBox on the network. I visited, created an account, and installed their required Firefox plugin. After powering it up, I headed over to my WiFi-enabled laptop and launched Firefox. The instructions walked me through wiring the SlingBox with Composite video cables from my Cable/Satellite box or DVR, draping the IR dongle over my TiVo, and wiring an Ethernet cable to my D-Link router. The package included the bare essentials: the SlingBox Solo, a power supply, composite video cables, an Ethernet cable, and an IR dongle. Fortunately, getting the SlingBox started took just a few minutes with a simple step-by-step process accompanied by clean visuals. Customers often have no choice but to return a product when they can’t manage to get it running due to overly complicated diagrams and wordy instruction manuals. This is where set-top boxes usually hit the first hurdle. There are usually many pitfalls set-top boxes wind up in, but fortunately, SlingMedia got it all right. Asides from wishing for a few additional features in a future iteration, this was simply one of the few products that worked so well right out of the box that it deserves commendation. That means being able to enjoy the TV content you receive at home from just about anywhere that has internet access. For those that haven’t heard of SlingBox, it’s a little set-top box that streams a residential Satellite or Cable TV feed over the internet for remote viewing on a Mac, PC, or mobile device.

Stick with the old application, even though the image quality will suffer a little.I rarely begin a review by drawing final thoughts right off the bat, but the SlingBox Solo simply rocks. I'm actually lowering my rating as there appears to have been to effort to correct glaring issues. The is overall a poor effort, with little attention given to functional detail. You can't re-size the view without distorting the image instead of simply clipping it as would happen in the old Slinbox client. There is also a problem with the aspect ratio.

The plug-in still doesn't work properly with a second display it will only go full screen on the main monitor (the one with the menu bar), and even if you switch to the menu bar to the second display (using a utility such as SwitchRes) it still won't be centered properly in full screen. There doesn't appear to any improvement whatsoever over the previous version. You might have to delete the old plugin, located in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, before installing this new version as the installer doesn't appear to correctly overwrite the old one.
