SlingPlayer app no longer works with Netgear's NeoTV, WDTV Live, and others.

I don't know if this belongs in the Sling General or Sling Support section, but I was trying to view a Slingbox on my Netgear NeoTV Prime and took note that when I click on the SlingPlayer link, it redirects me to their website.

 

So I called Sling Media and I found out that the company cut ties with the manufacturers of the following devices.

 

Sony - Sony Internet Player with Google TV

Western Digital - WDTV Live (All devices)

Netgear NeoTV (All devices)

 

Now I have to blow $100 just to get a compatible device such as the Roku 3. This really sucks!

Crap.

 

Using the NeoTV flash interface was how I was able to Slingbox under Linux.

 

At this point, I can suggest an Android TV box. Yes, you'd have to buy the $15 app; but you also have to buy the $15 app to use the Roku app as well.
