What's a Slingbox ID? (Also known as "Finder ID" or "Slingbox Finder ID")

Here's what the Slingbox ID is, and how you can find yours.

Each Slingbox has its own unique identification number, called the Slingbox ID, that helps SlingPlayer locate your Slingbox ... no matter how far away it is. In the past, this number has also been referred to as the Finder ID (although it has nothing to do with the Mac OS Finder) or the Slingbox Finder ID.

Need to find out what your Slingbox ID is? You can easily find out, but you need to be on your home network.

To find the Slingbox ID for your Slingbox:

Launch Watch on Slingbox.com. You can use the link to the right, under Watch your TV here!
Connect to your Slingbox so you can see video.
Click Options.
Check the info for the Slingbox ID.
