Watch the Big Game from anywhere!
Imagine being able to control your television at home from any location, anywhere in the world where you have a broadband connection. The SlingBox M2 is no stranger to my household. I already had one for 3 years now that I watch when I'm away from home or on the go. I love that I can watch my local news and programming from the DFW Metroplex area or other Spectrum Cable content no matter where I am using a laptop, desktop, tablet or my smartphone. My wife saw mine and needed a similar solution. I bought this one for her and installed it on a tv at home that she normally watches her recorded and live shows. Both boxes perform admirably as long as there is a reliable Internet connection at home we are good to go. I highly advise 50 to 100 mbps connecting to a hardwire Ethernet connection as the wireless function in both my M2's just don't want to work. Hardwire just works more seamlessly with no buffering. I was happy to find this M2 because Sling Corp. no longer manufactures any of the Sling boxes. The M2 will work with tv's with component video (Red,Green,Blue, White and Red or and with newer flat screens with those connections. No HDMI, but still HD. They are trying to get people to use the Sling App or sign up with DishNetwork. All Dish receivers have Sling technology built in. That said, if you are trying to find a Sling Box they will be expensive. This one was reasonable even though it sold for twice what retail used to be. I am happy with it and it does perform well.
