I highly recommend buying used. Since Dish bought them out, their customer support went to shit. So buying new for a warranty is pointless. Dont buy a Solo. The capacitors are junk. Guaranteed to fail.

Slingboxes use IR to send your remote signals. So if you have a remote that is using RF signals, your gonna have to turn that off. Kinda sorta matters for a lot of direcTV users. Also, this streams what you watch on your tv. So many negative reviews are "huurrrr duurrr my wife gets mad becuase when I watch my slingbox, I change what she is watching." Well yeah, it is streaming cable box. It is not a separate source.


Sling is pretty much the only guys left in the streaming game. Vulkano and Belkin are no longer made. Looks like amazon still has stock from 2012 and 2013.

I have toyed with using Emby or Plex for live tv streaming. Never figured it out.
