Slingmedia Slingcatcher

Chances are if you are reading this, you've got a Slingbox that allows you to stream your TV from your home anywhere around the home or the world as long as you've got an internet connection. SlingCatcher allows you to stream your Slingbox to another...

Lets you watch your Slingbox on the TV, allows you to connect USB drives to watch movies, easy to set-up and install

We struggled with the My Media element, HD streaming not supported

The Slingbox is a great piece of kit, but having to sit in front of your PC, while useful for work, is a bit geeky when if comes to home viewing. The SlingCatcher changes all this giving you that TV experience once again

Got a SlingBox? Want to watch your SlingBox on another TV? Guess what the SlingCatcher does.

The SlingMedia SlingCatcher will only ever have limited appeal but for those that really need such a device it does just about everything you could hope for and what few minor complaints we have shouldn't be enough to put you off buying one. However,...

Sling Media's SlingCatcher is a useful add-on to the Slingbox for anyone who wants to stream the content of one TV to another. It's not exactly an essential purchase though -- there's not much difference between using a SlingCatcher and using a laptop...

Easy to set up ; Video playback via USB

Cumbersome to carry around ; Interface is sluggish over a network

Conclusion Sling Media's SlingCatcher is a good product in most respects, but it's hardly an essential purchase. We'd recommend it only to people who live alone and want to enjoy TV content on two television sets in different rooms

The SlingCatcher streams internet TV to your lounge plasma. But is it worth a watch?

A handy way to get internet TV on your plasma, but a tad pricey

A pricey but versatile set-top box that lets you watch any online video on your TV, play media stored on USB drives, and place-shift Slingbox content to another TV.

As it stands now, the SlingCatcher is an innovative product with much potential, and we love how easy it is to stream premium and user-generated video content from your notebook straight to your TV. The lack of Wi-Fi is a major inconvenience, but...

An attractive and ingenious piece of hardware, but it's niche and lacks one important function.

Sling Media expands its range of network TV products with the SlingCatcher. Jonathan Bray finds out what it can do.

Sling Media staat het best bekend om zijn Slingbox-apparaten, die een televisiesignaal over het internet versturen. Dit nieuwe product van Sling Media doet iets anders: het brengt juist videosignalen naar de tv toe.

Alle drie de standen werken naar behoren

snel thuisnetwerk vereist voor goede resultaten - geen ingebouwde wireless mogelijkheden - geen upnp-streaming

Over het geheel genomen is de Catcher een goed, zij het duur product voor een nichemarkt. Wie al een Slingbox bezit of online video op zijn televisie wil kijken, zal tevreden zijn over de resultaten. Aan de andere kant, zo lang Sling Media het...

Slingcatcher är ytterligare en smart låda från Sling Media. Men utan en av sina släktingar i nätverket är den inte mycket att ha.

Slingcatcher gör din Slingbox bättre än någonsin. Bra fjärrkontroll följer med på köpet.

Dyr, saknar både trådlöst nätverk och möjlighet till direktströmning av media från PC.

Slingcatcher passar dig som redan har en Slingbox och vill dra nytta av den fullt ut.

Slingboxes are great. Watching British TV in a remote place like a hotel room in Latvia is a unique experience. I have had several Slingboxes in recent years, and that is the problem. As great as a product that they are I have never owned any of...

I bought one of these with a Slingbox Solo to send standard-definition Sky+ s-video from my lounge to my kitchen/diner/office. I do this over Devolo homeplugs.

Amazing!

It works as advertised, easy to setup and streaming TV has never been that good. I have a SlingBox in the UK and installed the SlingCatcher in the UAE. I never imagined that streaming video would be seamless and this clear.

Expensive? Yes, but worth it in my opinion. I live overseas and it's a godsend - I can watch UK TV on my 40" TV at a quality comparable to being back in the UK. I also think it produces a better quality picture then watching it on your laptop.

SlingCatcher the bits they don't tell you

Works as they say it will but they don't tell you that you have to have large upload speeds to have any chance of a normal picture. The instruction book is lacking just a basic one supplied to get you started, you have to use the online one to try and...

I bought one of these so that I could stream locally from the Sky+ HD box in the bedroom, to the main television in the living room. Using the HDMI connection and a 200mbps homeplug network the slingcatcher connected to my Slingbox with a bitrate of...

OK but not worth the money!

I got this so instead of constantly spinning a laptop around to show me wife something off the Internet while she was watching Emmerdale,I can project either window views or full-pages off my laptop onto a 47"lcd tv which is easier for her to see how...
