  1. I have a US Slingbox from the Los Angeles area, this time with only the Los Angeles locals. It includes all the major English- and Spanish-language channels, including ABC, CBS, Fox, Telemundo, Univision, and more. I am looking for Slingboxes from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Cable and satellite packages are preferred, mandatory if you're exchanging a US Slingbox. I will accept just about anything you offer, the bigger the better. If you don't have a Slingbox specifically due to location, availability, or other issues, I am willing to work with certain other similar place-shifting products, but it needs to be discussed. I may accept some trades from outside the countries mentioned if they interest me. For more information please private-message me or email me at tvstreamsyt@gmail.com.
  2. The Slingbox is still available; I'm lacking a US exchange right now so I'd like to have some more of those come in. I'm still accepting anything you're willing to offer regardless, but once again, I am exchanges only, no rentals.
  3. I found this website back in October 2013 because I was looking for somewhere else to conduct Slingbox exchanges. Now, however, things have changed, and pretty much any new people on this website are looking for HBO Go or Watch ESPN or Netflix or whatever online account, and not Slingbox exchanges, which is what this forum was initially intended for and should still be about. Every single day (since I've signed up for email alerts, since I want to know about new Slingbox exchange offers), I get several emails from people interested in online accounts, most popularly users from Australia wanting HBO Go. The last time I got an email about a Slingbox exchange offer from here was February 6 -- five days ago. Every email I've received since has been about online accounts. In fact, I've received over 130 emails about online accounts since I began signing up for email alerts. Just a few hours ago, I had to tell someone over chat that I didn't have HBO Go and that I only did Slingbox exchange -- and this wasn't even the first time I've had to do that! People have even told me themselves that how they find this forum is by searching for online account rentals! And if this is already being searched, it's only going to get worse unless drastic action is taken. The only way, I feel, to get rid of these people is to just completely erase them from the forum: ban or remove any and all accounts which have posted about the sale, rental, or trade of online accounts, although some leeway may be made for those who have mostly posted about Slingbox exchanges or rentals, and delete any and all posts relating to the sale, rental, or trade of online accounts. An additional step which could be taken after this is to create a completely separate forum space for those still wishing to continue online account sales/rentals/trading. These actions may sound very drastic in the eyes of the forum administrators, but it seems that this is the only way to get rid of these people that are deteriorating the health and the focus of this Slingbox sharing forum community.

  8. I'd like to think that you're in the right place. The Slingbox is a great technology that allows you to watch your television anywhere. The Slingbox works by connecting to a cable box, antenna service, or similar to stream the channels available through that service to you through the internet, regardless of where you live. Thus you can watch your favorite TV shows and other content, just as if you were watching your own TV, while away. While viewing a Slingbox, you have a virtual remote to use features of the cable or satellite service with ease, and (depending on both your internet connection speeds and the speeds of the Slingbox host) you'll get good picture quality, in some cases TV-quality. In the case of this forum, the technology of the Slingbox is used by forum users here to stream mainly cable and satellite services (from a number of countries, I might add) to other users of the forum who request them in return for use of their Slingbox (a "Slingbox exchange", "Slingbox trade", or "Slingbox sharing") or in return for payment (a "Slingbox rental"). In your case, it seems that you're looking for an alternative to actual cable services in your area, which are pricey and lack features available in other parts of the country, satellite services, due to unpredictable weather interfering with your service, and sites like USTVNOW which don't offer the channel selection you want. To me it looks like Slingbox rentals have the potential to solve both of your problems here. I'm not the most experienced here when it comes to Slingbox rentals, but I can say that a lot of our renters offer good cable packages (usually from the East Coast, so expect a potential time difference on things like the EPG). Some offer premium channels, DVRs, and "dedicated" services (where the cable box connected to the Slingbox is not connected to a TV, which eliminates the risk of infringing on the box owner's own viewing and gives you exclusive access). While these features may be offered, it's up to you to decide what features you want and compare features and pricing that suits you. I'm not very experienced with the Slingbox/SlingPlayer apps for other devices, but I think that there are some types of Slingboxes which don't work with one or more of the apps, so if you're looking specifically to watch on, say, a Roku device hooked up to your TV, you'll have to discuss whether or not that Slingbox works with that device and app before you make a decision. I hope that this information helps you out in deciding whether or not to use a Slingbox for your television viewing needs.
  9. First off, welcome to the Sling Sharing forum. To answer your first question, you would be able to view US sports channels through a Slingbox; the app (at a cost) will most likely be required for the iPhone. You would be able to view the programming from the Slingbox on the SlingPlayer website; however this is more for computers. The only additional equipment which you would need to view Slingboxes only is the SlingPlayer plugin (PCs) or the SlingPlayer app (devices). I'm not sure on the status of the Slingbox on game consoles; someone else would have to explain that. If you are planning to offer your Sky HD service in return you would need to purchase a Slingbox and follow the instructions to set it up and connect it to both your Sky box/setup and your internet connection. This is based on my knowledge of the Slingbox service, if anything is incorrect feel free to point it out.

  16. I'm interested, but I might not have exactly the right Slingbox for you; does it have to be West Coast specifically? West Coast Slingboxes are hard to find exchanges for.
  17. I have a Slingbox from the Hamilton County, NJ area; it has a mix of New Jersey and New York City locals as well as a number of movies and sports channels. Reply/PM if you're interested.
  18. The SlingTV is the most current product.
  19. I have a US Slingbox from the Los Angeles area, including all the Los Angeles locals and basic cable channels.

However, I might accept some other offers outside of that if they interest me, so don't hesitate to send me an offer. Although I prefer a cable or satellite package, the bigger th better, I'm willing to accept just about anything that you're willing to give me.
