earth, for now.
Sure sure, I know this question is a stab in the dark, but I figured I'd give it another try. Im fairly certain that Im going to be getting the SlingBox mobile box... but I'd really love to see how it functions on the iPhone. I went ahead and bought the App from the AppStore ($29.99) - and I was curious if someone would allow me to demo the app with their credentials? - I'd only use it for a day or so... if thats ok.


-- The reason said, "I'd give it another try..." - I asked ages ago if someone would lend me their AirVideo Pin, and several people did.. :)

You can just send me a msg instead of posting it public. :) I appreciate your kindness in advance! :D
 
Nice to see folks helping other people out.

This is a thumbs up thread for sure.
 
Just wanted to give an UPDATE:

The kindness of another user on here, let me use his/her account to their SlingBox... and I just gotta say a BIG THANKS to ulbador

The App works great! Lots of features! The layout is nicely done! The quality is pretty fantastic! NOT as good as say, AirVideo, or ORB, but I'm sure there is a ton of factors involved!

I tried out Movies/TV Shows and they are great. Cartoons like Family Guy are very well rendered! Hot DAMN!

Im VERY impressed - the controls are pretty easy to use! At first, it looked slightly confusing, but it's pretty str8 forward! - I appreciate the chance to demo this App/Product, and I Will definitely... most definitely be purchasing the SlingBox!

--- I had asked a question a while ago about how to control satellite TV with iPhone and someone suggested SlingBox - and ever since, I've been had my heart set on it! - Im VERY happy !!

Kudos to ulbador and thanks, OP for posting a review. I've also been looking into this possibility and appreciate the information.
