The Slingbox Solo takes your TV inputs and shoots out IP-ready television via the Ethernet. The Solo controls just one TV, thus giving you total control over which TV you want to connect with. Just make sure that nobody else uses that television or they will be stuck watching whatever it is you’re viewing on your player.
For avid travelers and TV junkies, the Slingbox Solo is a must-have. The installation has been streamlined from past models and you will need component cables to start it.
