It's been years since I've used a Slingbox, but I'm still sorry to hear this. I was once a big fan, and the briefing the late and must-missed Blake Krikorian gave me on the original version remains one of the best demos I've ever received. https://www.slashgear.com/...

Apparently all @Sling Slingbox products are being discontinued & they are pulling the plug on this service in 24 months. https://www.slingbox.com/... Another sad case of tech firm wanting to charge you monthly for something you used to be able to purchase one time. #ProfitNotProg…
