Free Product Giveaway: Six Slingbox PRO-HD Units Up For Grabs

While the industry argues over what TV Everywhere should look like, consumers like me who have a Slingbox already have a true TV Everywhere solution. With Slingbox, you can access your full linear TV lineup wherever you go from your computer or mobile device. Simply put, for TV Everywhere, nothing beats a Slingbox.

And thanks to the very generous folks at Sling Media I have six Slingbox PRO-HD units to give away to some lucky readers of my blog. I'm going to raffle off the units one at a time over the next few months so here's your chance to win the first one. Just leave one comment on this post with a valid email address saying how you will use it and I'll pick one lucky winner at random on April 1st. You must have a U.S. postal address as I will not ship these overseas. HUGE thanks to Sling Media for the boxes!

Always wanted to try it. Does it have Flash support yet?

[Gordon]

Very interesting reading more at their site. Recently got Roku XR after reading about it here, love it for Netflix on my home network. Would use Slingbox and accessories to extend TV/PC streaming to rooms with no cable or ethernet and improve lower wireless signals.

[Steve]

I want one! Badly, and I'll move to the US to qualify ;-)

[Juan Saldívar]

Probably one of your few Mexican fans... I head the Interactive Division of Televisa in Mexico. Love to test the HD baby and brief you back... we currently stream 4 live channels, time shifted live, vod long and short form. Mostly with MoveNetworks...

Thanks for holding the giveaway. I spend too many hours working(IT) so I'll use it to watch tv from work. Plus it will entertain clients while I try to fix their computers.

[Rick]

This would look GREAT next to my Roku and would enable me to watch favorite shows while I'm on the road.

Hi,

I'll use it to watch tv the way most have been consuming radio anywhere portably almost for ever, and save the effort of delayed downloading!

Kind regards,

I have the Slingbox Classic. Best investment that I have made. Only issue is that it does not work with the Iphone. Would love to have the Pro HD.

[Victor]

gee thanks!

Dan,

Your insights into this business have been a great help to us over the years. Providing a Slingbox will provide me more insights into - Yankees games via iPhone. Cubs games via iPhone. Who could ask for more? Sign me up!

Slingbox is a GREAT product - no need to waste bucks on TiVo.

I would use it when I travel to access my cable TV service on the road.

[Scott]

I'd love to have one to use while I am on the road for business or personal reasons. Also, be great to have in my home office where I don't have coax for TV for streaming business channels on my iMAC throughout the day. My two teenage sons would also find many uses for it. It would be a great addition to the home. Thanks.

[James]

I will use it to keep up woth my American TV shows while I travel abroad.

[Anshu]

Would really like to try the interoperability with Ankeena product. We have tested with boxes like Roku and would really like to test this one out.

[Raul Deju]

I would use it to capture all my longtail content Kids and Movies for the house. Anything that I want to access mobile. Also I wanted to test if I could use a source for my own home CCTV network to monitor the house from my iphone. and then maybe even get a slingcatcher to extend my DTV if it works better than a DTV device.

I would love to win this and use it to put at my folks house in NY to watch all those NY Giants games not broadcast down here in Dan Snyder land....

To feed my addiction to the food network when I am on the road (bonus points for bad puns?).

Dan, I found your blog after reading a comment by you in our local newspaper online edition concerning Blockbuster's online digital strategy. I am old school and like to take my dogs to the video store, pick out a Blue Ray DVD and watch it with popcorn. Well, they closed the stores near my house and now we are looking for alternatives - I'm not a fan of Netflix. I will have to review your articles for suggestions and planning to embrace new technology. Anyway, I digress, this box seems like it would help in moving my 17-year old out of the way of decent TV and movie watching and into his room where the seldom used textbooks are more accessible.

[James Stathis]

I enjoy researching the TV Everywhere concept, VOD, etc. and having a sling box would make my work so much more fun, not to mention simply enjoying it use! We have our own productions I'd love to explore getting seen through Slingbox and similar devices.

[Joe Christensen]

I would love a sling box to watch the DVR when away from home.

[Matt]

It would be awesome to hook this up to my HD sat box and watch programming via my mobile device! Ohh. Good point about the iPad. You have to admit that'd be pretty cool.

[Jamie]

I'd use it to run my Control4 home automation system from anywhere in the world!

[Ray Burnett]

Dan, I found your site while researching stocks. I was looking for a website where new and cutting edge "Video over the Internet" technology news could be found. There is no self promoting advertising here. I love new toys!

[John]

No sappy posting about how much I need it/will test, etc. but I wouldn't complain if my name gets picked!
