The Premiership’s ticking along nicely, but how can you watch it if you’re out and about, without getting yourself into trouble with the law? Read on, and we’ll show you how to stream live football on any screen, be it TV, tablet, PC, or phone – completely legally.
Google TV hasn’t been on high on Google’s list of priorities recently. It was only briefly mentioned at Google I/O with an Android Honeycomb upgrade and we’re still waiting for the UK launch to materialise. But a quietly made acquistion suggests that a rethought Google TV is in the works.
Google has bought Sage TV, a Californian set top box maker whose sole product combines DVR features with Slingbox-style placeshifting, and immediately shuttered its site. Could that technology about to be folded into Google TV?
The work week is winding to a close, but the tech news is pouring in this afternoon. We’ve got the latest scoop on Apple’s iCloud service, Sony has all but confirmed the NGP will be called the PS Vita and Apple could be planning its own MVNO network for the iPhone. This and more on today’s US Update.
Own a Slingbox and Google TV yet still trying to figure out how to get both boxes to play nice? Well, you could sit tight and wait for the Android software update promised at Google I/O or you could take the initiative and sign up now at slingbox.com for the company’s beta program. Unlike the Android app, the beta program will reportedly grant access to a flash-based website — similar to version available for Mac and PC users.
What do you get when you mix the world’s first HD digital video recorder with Freesat+ and Sling Media’s place-shifting technology — the SlingLoaded EchoStar HDS-600RS. Get ready to take your 150 digital Freesat+ channels anywhere you have 3G or WiFi coverage. Even better, there’s access to BBC iPlayer, with other connected TV services including ITV Net Player to follow.
SlingPlayer for iPad, which lets you stream content to your iPad from your Slingbox, is now available. The Slingplayer iPhone app arrived earlier in the year, and the two carry the same price tag of £17.99. It’s a hefty price for an app, but a one-off fee that means you can stream any content you can see on your home TV to your iPad.
As Windows Phone 7 hits the streets, streaming media company Sling Media has announced that it is bringing its SlingPlayer app to the new mobile OS.
