Rated 4.5/5 stars (108 votes cast) Thanks for your vote!

How would you like to watch all the latest shows as they air in the US on your big screen TV ANYWHERE in the world? And how about doing that COMPLETELY Legally.

Now how would you like it if I told you that you would be able to do so FOR FREE (apart from the price of the device, the connection fees?)

Then welcome to the wonderful world of SlingCatcher!

In a nutshell, the slingcatcher is a device that hooks up to your TV on one side and to the network on the other. It's job is to connect to a streaming video from your AV devices and display it through your TV or projector.

This can happen from your living room to your bedroom, or from your living room to your parent's living room all the way on the other side of the planet through the Internet.

Cool thing about it is that you can ALSO control the devices you're streaming from through your own remote.

So here's an example...

I love Heroes. While I'm travelling I don't have a chance to see it, in-real-time. So what I do, I plug-in this little baby to the TV at the hotel where I'm staying. Plug it into the network and have it stream my show to my current TV. NO PC REQUIRED! No small Laptop LCD, no Expensive PC to just stream stuff. Just this little set-top-box and viola! I'm watching my favorite shows IN REAL TIME.

Did I mention it's COMPLETELY legal? There's no piracy here, there's nothing to worry about when you do it. You're not breaking any law and the FBI will not come knocking on your door for illegally downloading pirated material.

But that's not all this little baby can do. Plug in a USB hard-drive with all your videos and SlingCatcher will play them for you on your big screen. No expensive AV devices necessary.

Did I mention that you can ALSO use your PC to stream video to this baby? You can project your spreadsheets, presentations, Internet viral videos even your picture slide-show ALL through to your big screen TV in your living room. Now isn't that something?!

Imagine having a 50" digital picture frame in your living room! WOW!

I'm so excited about this thing, that I think I'm ordering two. One for my bedroom (yes Tinkerbella I can say bedroom without meaning anything bad) and one for my parent's living room in Jordan where I will be watching my favorite shows in the US, on the big screen!

-- I wasn't paid anything for this review, but if the good folks at sling media would like to send me a unit to test with, I would be more than happy to help them

what kind of shows are your streaming to the bedroom? Why can't you just watch them in the living room?

Cuz I'm sleepy? Cuz I don't want to install another satellite receiver in my bedroom to watch TV? The possibilities are endless.

Now imagine this. You create a network in your house, and instead of running -lossy- AV cables you stream at full digital quality over your SINGLE connection.
Add wireless, and now you don't even need to run cables anywhere to get your programming.

Imagine, I can do the same in the study, in my office, in the kitchen, in the bathroom...etc ..etc ..etc

Sounds great, how much do you think it will cost ? and does this effect the down load size for our internet connection?

I think it will be in the range of $100 to $150.
Since it will use your Internet, it will take some of the bandwidth. But if you used it inside your home. You will not have to share your Internet connection at all
