Do I really have to pay $14.99 for the app to watch on my phone or tablet?

Yes, you do have to purchase the app for your tablet and phone in order to watch your home tv on them. It's worth it though. The Sling Box is great! I watch sports, tv shows, dvr recordings, etc when I'm at the gym and out of town. I know it's an expensive app, but the app and sling box are great.

Yes you do. But take some comfort - it used to be $30. Trust me, it's worth it.

It is not comforting to pay but it is a good application. Indeed, I paid $30. The company argues that it has invested money in this venture most likely outside parties. Given that Slingbox is reasonably priced for what it delivers, I justified it.

I just went to hulu.com and immediately got a message that the hulu plus subscription is required for mobile devices, so it doesn't look like it.

No, amazon has a pretty tight lid set on what can and cannot access its video services, and the majority of android devices are not given access. There are of course ways around this, the easiest of which is view through the browser, (chrome usually works best for me). All other standard android video apps will work though, such as Netflix and the like. If you're looking for Amazon video compatibility on a tablet, then your best bet is to go with a kindle, (any version will work, and the KF2 can be found on Amazon for 99 dollars).

It will depend on what you purchase. They have a few game apps for as low as $7.50 (most cost $10) and some games up to $25.

Yes. It's useless without the app. I use an android phone too and hope there's an app soon. I use my iPad to monitor the device.

With the $3.99 upgraded app, one may record the video locally. I have not tried it though.

I use android, but not that, that matters... I tried to use the app once and it was confusing getting it all set us on the software side... as well as the monitor has to be connected to a computer that stays on line at all times for it to work. Long story short, the aggravation was not worth using the app.

Yes. But watching via-online may be a problem as it does not have Flash Player. It's best to download the app through Google player

Yes. It allows you to download one free game during initial setup, but everything else has to be bought. Unless you're willing to spend $3+ for sale items or as much as $25 for other apps, this may not be what you're looking for. Nothing is free. It appears most things are $10+.

No, that's why its over $200 cheaper. Get a roku or the new chromecast and save.

Most of my apps are from google play store. I have the netflix app but haven't tried it yet. I think since it is android it will but don't have personal experience with it.

The apps are free. The services the apps connect to may offer services that are free, paid, or a mixture of both. For example, Netflix is a pay service, I "Heart" Radio is free. And just to cover another interpretation of your question, you must have an existing internet connection to use the apps.

I don't know, I've never used the device, it costs too much $50/month subscription to use it.

I can't say I remember seeing Amazon Video On Demand as one of the apps in the device. Will update when I get home.

Yes. I have an app on my iPhone, a different app on my Kindle HD, and I also watch on the web. They can all be viewed simultaneously.
