Slingbox M1 Review

Slingbox is at it again, with a less expensive model in their M1. Now, while the hardware is less expensive, Ben points out that the desktop application is free but the tablet/phone versions cost $15 each. Overall, it’s not a revolutionary release for Slingbox, but it’s good to see they are still producing new products.

Like all Slingboxes before it, the M1 can stream live and DVRed programs to your mobile devices, but this time, it’s $150, making it the least expensive model yet. In particular, it’s $30 cheaper than its predecessor and boasts the same feature set, but with the addition of built-in WiFi, so you don’t need to park the box next to an Ethernet jack.
