SlingBox Is Still The Ultimate "TV Everywhere" Device, And I'm Giving One Away

6a00d834518e1c69e20133f078eebc970b-800wi (UPDATE: the drawing is now closed) With all the fragmentation amongst device manufactures and content providers, I still think the one device to beat in this market is the SlingBox. With a Slingbox, you can access your full linear TV lineup wherever you go from your computer or mobile device. And with a dedicated SlingBox app for the iPad to be released shortly, for TV Everywhere, nothing beats a Slingbox.

And thanks to the very generous folks at Sling Media I have another Slingbox PRO-HD unit to give away to a lucky reader of my blog. To be entered into the drawing, just leave one comment on this post with your full name and a valid email address and I'll pick one lucky winner at random on Sept 15th. You must have a U.S. postal address as I will not ship these overseas. Congrats to Jim Doyle who won the last drawing. HUGE thanks to Sling Media for the boxes! Congrats to Steven M. from Washington who won the drawing.

Thank you very much; but I'm not leaving my email in this comment!! ;o)

Keep up the good work! Thanks!

heyyyy yooo, would love to have one!

Very cool! Staying tuned in.

Count me in

Would be quite nice!

Love the blog, Dan. Please count me in.

Agree 100% with your assessment of Slingbox as the product to beat for TV Everywhere. This may just push me over the edge to get an iPad! Thanks, Dan.

Pick me.

A free Slingbox? Awesome Dan! And thanks for all your work in the streaming/CDN space.

Hey Dan -

I'been toying with the idea of upgrading my Dish system to the top of the line model that includes Slingbox functionality. Trouble is, I don't travel much anymore! But it sure would be nice to be able to watch Mariners games whenever and wherever I want... as painful as that may sound...

Dan, Does the Sling Box work for streaming TV content from international locations? Count me in. Thanks

I would love to get it!

Sling one my way Dan!

While the Slingbox is a great device, users still have to contend with spotty internet connections when they are traveling. Its one thing to have a great connection at home, but you never know what is going to be available as you move around.

I still question the quality of Sling...they should adopt the adaptive protocol

COunt me in! Sounds Cool!

Cool! Would love to have a shot at a Slingbox. Thanks for all your commentary, Dan.

Excellent...had earlier version but had glitches, so I returned it. Curious about the Pro-HD

Definitely thanks for the opportunity to win a slingbox.

Your blog has been great resource for me, THANKS!

Things that I want!

I didn't post my full name before.

Sling is indeed the best in the market!

Dan, have you had a chance to try Slingcatcher? I waited for that kind of product for long but haven't heard much good reviews so far. What's your thought on that Sling product?
