SlingMedia Introduces Sling.com Portal
Slingbox owners know what a great device it is. If you don't know what a Slingbox is, it's a device that hooks up to your team and streams your TV stations so you can watch TV from a computer or PDA from anywhere in the world.
To compliment the Slingbox, SlingMedia has introduced Sling.com, a website that offers video from other content providers. The best part of the website is you can also view your streaming TV from Sling.com, which eliminates having to install software to view your show. Xchange.com gives a little more detail about Sling.com:
The site enters a crowded field of Web video viewing sites, some from which it features movie and sports content. A deal with Hulu.com gives the site access to a lot of mainstream broadcast network programming.
The site's features include blogs, playlists and clip collections. It also has socialization features that let you subscribe to any channel, show or user to create a feed of programming and activity that reflects your personal tastes and those of your social network.
Also, Slingbox owners can now access and view their home television (cable, satellite receiver) and DVR via the Sling.com Web site, making their Slingboxes available without a software client download.
Now you can watch Slingbox on those pesty work computers that won't let you install software. Just don't get caught!

Get Acquainted With the Slingbox
Here at the NetworkingAudioVideo headquarters we recently received a Slingbox Solo to review. As we mentioned the Slingbox to a few friends we we're amazed how many of them had no idea what the Slingbox was (shows you how many of our friends read our site!). For those of you not in the know, the Slingbox is one of the greatest devices to stream your television shows ever made we found a short video from TekieTV to that helps familiarize you with the Slingbox.
