Mixed bag

I was recently "forced" to upgrade my Slingbox because I wanted iPad support. They pulled a planned obsolescence maneuver with the iPad app and it required an hardware upgrade even though my Pro with the HD dongle was fine.

I bit the bullet and did it to get iPad support, then I find out they simultaneously pulled the rug out from underneath MacOS users and the current Mac client does not support the newer ProHD device. Yes, you can use the website, but I prefer a full client.

Their support is virtually non-existent, and pathetic when accessible. Not to mention the fact that they pulled the SlingCatcher, which was a GREAT device.

So, overall, I would call myself a relatively unsatisfied customer at the moment, but unfortunately, there really is not a viable alternative that delivers like they do about 50% of the time.

Just my opinion...
