From the main menu go down to Spotlight, click on it... Then move over to the TV & Movies tab... Then move down three clicks and right two to the App.

THis app is missing even from 2012 Smart Tv's. I fail to understand any conflict of interest issues arising out of including the Amazon app. I am not sure which end is the hold up.

No - however they have just started selling the slingbox adapted for the UK (including Freeview) - it seems to be availale via Dixons, Currys and PC World though. Expensive (as usual we in the UK get ripped off when kit arrives here from the US) at almost £200.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure this would be worth purchasing if it isn't capable of HD streaming. Does anyone know if this is something that could be resolved with a software update, or would it require Slingbox to release a new "Slingcatcher HD"?

The sling box comes with the wires that need to be connected to your cable box. And the software downloaded on what ever devices ur going to be viewing on from anywhere

with the sling box you can turn on/off your directv box. So no need to leave it on cause you can do that remotely.

According to www.SlingboxGuide.com PSP will NOT work with the PSP. They mention an alternative that does, but I can't remember which one, so you'll need to go there to find out.

I don't see why not. I use my iPad to log into the Slingbox then send it to my Apple TV to watch the program on my home TV set.

Bruno Leite, i may have not made myself clear. I was not referring to ATSC tuner. You would need to upgrade to the newer Slingbox Pro which includes a digital tuner. Otherwise, the only way to make the older version slingbox work (with a digital cable channel) would be to use a digital conversion adapter supplied by Comcast. Even then, you will not have the ability to control the channels thru your PC or Mobile.

Sling boxes are designed to work with Dish Network receivers (verified by manufacturer) and will not work for internet connection. I tried it, it will not work for internet connection through home electrical wiring with or without another Sling box. Some other devices may work but not for anything other than some Dish television features.

Just go with hdmi and component outs from your STB into the Slingbox then HDMI out of slingbox into your TV and you won't have a problem or know the difference.

Hi, I just have 3 of these adapters, no slingbox, and they work well as long as you watch polarity. Saves lots of cable! :)

Didn't know Sony had an ES app. My first Google search brought back "ES Remote" By Sony Corporation. I've got an iOS device so I'd pull off the App store.

I was unable to find the WatchESPN app on my sony bluray among the numerous apps that were preloaded. However, it could possibly be added by the user. I don't know how to do that.

No. My sling catcher is only a player for an old sling box. I am not sure it will work even with the new sling players. You can copy shows to a USB drive and play it through the sling catcher but I don't think it will directly play a DVR file type. The box was great for military that move around and want to watch US shows in other countries, etc. The web player is probably a better way to go now.

No, it only provides what the cable company provides on active cable channels, the design is old and does not compare to the slingbox that I now use.
