Slingbox PRO’s HD Performance Reviewed

Posted Oct 3rd, 2006 by Chief Gizmateer

One of the most anticipated new features on the Slingbox PRO is its HDTV capable input. Though they use a standard HDMI port on the back of the Slingbox, you can’t actually connect a HDMI device directly to it. This port is designed for use with Sling Media’s HD dongle accessory, which is packaged and sold separately at an MSRP of $49. This adapter allows you to connect component video cables from your device to the Slingbox, and includes a pass-thru so you can still connect the component cables to your HDTV. Though a production model adapter wasn’t available at the time of this writing, Sling Media was kind enough to send Sling Community me a prototype unit to test out the HD performance of the Slingbox PRO.
