Slingbox coming to Android tomorrow (06/21)

[dragonfly1113]

I hear Verizon blocks Slingbox Streams. How is this working over peoples 3G connection?

I just used it on my drive home from work. about 13-15 miles on 3G, no issues what so ever. Worked great. No pauses, crashes ect. Now I can drive and watch tv..lol

This or texting while driving is not intelligent. Please use common sense.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding around but ya...watching tv while driving is a lil worse than texting while driving, esp if you watch porn which is what androids can do according to a mr jobs LMAO. dancedroid

DROID RULES!!!!

Update: I will post a video of it working on the droid as soon as my buddy gives me permission to get into his slingplayer at his house, wish he would have split the line so it wouldnt matter when i got into it. since mine isnt hooked up due to brother moving other cables around so he can watch tv, damn kids and their tv's

I cant find it on the market...Is it because I have a rooted 2.2?

I have rooted 2.2 and found it late last night. Maybe your time zone? dunno why u wouldnt see it just search the word "sling"

hopefully someone posts the .apk soon. (dm if you have it)

Dont think I can compensate with $29.99. I have a google voice & wave I can give up

I hope not, if they do they will get a nice "vacation" from DroidForums!!

Even ASKING for someone to post or direct you to a paid app for free can get you a vacation.

This is very much against policy here at Droid Forums as it amounts to theft.

Just a friendly warning this time!

On a lighter note, if you are a DishNetwork Subscriber, it is my understanding you can get a $30 rebate (against your bill)...so it's FREE

Being a Dish Subscriber you know how clueless the phone reps are

Give it a few days to filter thru their system and it should be general knowledge by then.

I am a long time member of SatelliteGuys.us and Scott says there is a rebate...and he is rarely wrong Plus my contacts at Dish have been saying it would be free to us when released.

Sling Player for Android... 922 support? - SatelliteGuys.US

Will post more details when I get them.

I don't have the 922, so that may be an issue (I know it's sling loaded).

Doesn't matter, you will still be able to Remote control, set timers, etc on the other VIP receivers just like you do with the browser version.

Boy, I really like this app. I've wanted a good phone app for sling since I had my Blackberry and this one really delivers (even though I use the unsupported Slingbox AV).

I love this phone!

On my previous phone this was a dream. I almost didn't upgrade to Droid, because it didn't have an app for slingplayer. I switched to U-Verse a few months ago and didn't bother to plug up the slingbox. Guess I will have to plug it up again. I have the original and see that it isn't supported, but others are using it minus a guide. I can deal with that.

anyone use the slinbox hd pro on a motorola droid? mainly curious on the HD quality if it looks really good on the moto droid

 

[posprg]

Am I correct in assuming then from what you are saying I can use this app to remote my Dish HD-dvr without buying a slingbox? can dve content be watched this way as well?

thanks in advance

Dish does have a slingloaded 922 receiver. Whether or not this receiver works with Android I don't know, but I can tell you I have no problems running the sling app with my 622 receiver just like I can control it from home including DVR functions
