Sling Medias Continued Efforts
It was in 2006 that Sling Media created the Sling Entertainment Group. Its main mission was to develop entertainment experiences and business models that go beyond anyone’s expectations. The group fosters and manages relationships with content creators and owners. Its first project, Clip+Sling, is meant to dramatically alter the way consumers socialize around TV. It basically enables users to clip and share limited segments of their favorite television programs online.
The product line of Sling Media is now distributed in over 5,000 retail stores in 11 countries. Considering its relatively young age, the company has extended its reach far and wide. It has been a great five years for them because they were able to come up with products that people have easily and readily accepted. It garnered enthusiasm from its customers because they have enhanced the viewing experience of people. Sling Media continues to blaze a product development trail focusing on convergence innovation for today’s digital lifestyle.
The Slingbox SOLO, in particular, has been the device of choice for many. Unlike the Slingbox PRO and the Slingbox CLASSIC, the Slingbox SOLO doesn’t include an aerial/coaxial antenna input. It instead offers a Composite Video, S-Video and Component Video input/output that can be connected to one standard or high definition set-top box or DVR/DVD-Player. When you purchase the box, you will get the Slingbox SOLO, a 100 to 200 V AC adapter, a SCART to RCA adapter, a composite AV cable, a remote control IR cable, an Ethernet cable, and a Quick Start Guide that describes in detail the inner workings of this new line.
