About SlingMedia

Sling Media developed the Slingbox, a consumer electronics device that connected to a home TV source and let users watch and control their live and recorded television remotely over the internet on computers, phones and tablets, a technology known as place-shifting. The company was acquired by EchoStar, and its technology later supported Dish Network's Sling services.
