When Slingbox contacted The Hoop Doctors to take the new Slingbox M1 for a test drive, we were thrilled. We had heard good things about the device, and during March Madness we have all been in the situation where we are stuck at work, on a business trip, or are at a restaurant or bar that isn’t showing our game of choice. Hell naw! It’s March Madness!
But never fear, the Slingbox is here. For a $150 you can buy the device, connect it to your cable box and home wifi network, and be up and running in 5 minutes flat. From there you can watch your home TV stations and even your recorded PVR remotely on basically any mobile device. A computer, tablet, or phone.
Want one of your own? Check out this slick contest Slingbox is running right now where you can enter for free before the end of March and win their “Ultimate Cubicle Makeover”. Check out the quote from their contest about page and the video about the contest after the jump….
Slingbox is giving away the ultimate cubicle makeover so you can enjoy the NCAA’s March Madness tournament in style. We’ll come to your office and deliver a truly comfortable chair, your own Slingbox 500, and an epic party meal for you and your office mates. So enter today for a chance to win. You only have until March 28th to Enter! PLUS 68 runners-up will win a Slingbox M1 to set themselves up for the big dance.
It’s that season again. When the brackets come out and productivity in the office drops like a slam dunk from Jahlil Okafor. And having a Slingbox is the best way to make sure that you don’t miss a moment of the tournament because you’re in the office or your app suffers from blackouts. That’s 8375 minutes/39.58 hours/5.81 days of nonstop basketball. If your team is on TV, It’s on.
Still not sure what a slingbox is? Here is how the company describes the device….
What is slingbox you might ask? Slingbox is a unique technology that lets you watch your home TV anywhere in the world, on any device. That means you get all your live cable or satellite TV channels and recorded shows on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Slingbox has superior video and audio quality through the Internet or your cellular network and is the only technology that delivers the true TV experience you deserve.
Slingbox is true Live TV anywhere you are or want to be – without blackouts, monthly fees, or limitations. Traveling for work? Slingbox lets you catch your home team game even from another state. You’ll never have to worry about buying another cable subscription for your vacation home or second house – you can take your cable with you. Even people traveling overseas can watch live TV back home. When it comes to Slingbox, if it’s on your home tv, it’s on wherever you are.
The best part about the device is how small it is and easy to setup. Check out the pics of our device after the jump. With our Apple TV on top of the Slingbox you get an idea of how compact it is.
So far I’m loving the device, I’m watching all these #14 seeds beat the #3 seeds in round 1 at the office and proceeding to ripping up my bracket. But at least I’m not missing any of the action!!
Slingbox sponsored the Slingbox M1 that we reviewed for this post.
