Personal Review: Sling Media Slingbox PRO (SB200-100)
When I bought my laptop, I usually delete all the extra's stuff that is
installed on it. When I came to the Slingbox icon, I decided to see what it
was about. I went to the web page and liked what I saw and decided to buy
it. When I deployed to Iraq this past spring, I didn't get the box because the
majority of the things I see that says "watch any where or use any where" it
is usually for businessmen going in and out of the country for a few days.
Well when i came home for R&R, I decided I'm going to try it out and if it
don't work over here, then at least I can use it for road trips. The minute I
got back in country, I tried it, there was a problem with the connection, the
first thing that came to my head was "I knew it, just like anything else that
states it works anywhere, well it didn't" So when i got b ack to my actual
living area, I tried it again, and man I was like a kid in the candy store!
I no longer had to watch AFN (Armed Forces Network) at all!!! I was
watching television from the states in Iraq!
The only draw back and I say again, the only draw back is the internet
connection. At certain times of the day, the buffing is real slow, the video is
choppy, but once it is on, it is on!
So, to all my brothers and sisters in arms, deployed or not, or if your family
members that want to get you something in your "care" package, I highly
recommend you tell them to get the Slingbox, or before you deploy or PCS
overseas, purchase the Slingbox. You won't regret it!
They sell two types, get the one with the built in tuner, if not, you and your
wife/husband will be fighting over witch show you are watching :)
(By the way, I am not getting a dime from this company at all, this is my
way of "word of mouth" and endorsing a good product, the US Military has
nothing to do with this or the Slingbox company.)
