A continual moment of clarity
SlingStream is a groundbreaking technology that dynamically adjusts your video quality to provide the best possible viewing experience. "Huh?" you ask? Well, it turns out your Internet connection is constantly varying based on network congestion (both at home and wherever you want to watch your Slingbox). You've probably seen this happen with other streaming Internet video when you see "Buffering, please wait." Well, we don't know about your TV, but in our houses, our TV never says "buffering" or anything of the sort! So, our engineers invented SlingStream to solve the problem.
It functions by taking into account a variety of factors, including network bandwidth, SlingPlayer device characteristics, video content, and the type of video input. Using patent pending algorithms, SlingStream automatically adjusts compression level, video bit rate, frame rate, and other settings to create a continuous quality video experience. And SlingStream works regardless of the connection type, whether it’s LAN, Internet, or even wireless from your mobile phone. If all this doesn't make perfect sense to you, don't worry about it, just rest assured the video quality from your Slingbox is always as good as it can possibly be!

Sling Media HD Cable
Great cable - our picture never looked better. We have slingbox pro and this was a great addition to the picture quality.
Expensive but works great
The option is expensive, but works really well - exacly as advertised. Very easy and straight forward to setup and delivers the contents well. The complaint I have is a philosphical one - why not allow the standard HDMI connector / connections instead of the proprietary gadget for HD contents? It seems Sling Media just wants to nickel and dime us. However, this is their platform and they have the right to do it the way they want. What I can indeed say is that the gadget, albiet a bit expensive as comapred to perhaps just using a std HDMI option, works really well. If you can use it and can afford it, get...
Nice addition but expensive
This feature should have been built-in to the Slingbox Pro from the beginning. They now have a new model of the Slingbox that has these connections built-in along with 1080i upscaling. The Slingbox pro was supposed to be made for multiple connections and has an HDMI like connection but will not work unless this HD Connect is attached to it. A HDMI input/output connection on this dongle would have received a better review. Overall, I was not pleased with the PQ of the slingbox with this connection via PC or remote access and got rid of it.
