Getting Started with SlingPlayer for Android Tablets

  • Will SlingPlayer for Android Tablets work with my Slingbox?

  • SlingPlayer for Android Tablets will only work with the Slingbox PRO-HD or the Slingbox SOLO. If you have an older Slingbox, you need to upgrade before using this application.

    If you are from the UK and are using a SlingLoaded HDS-600RS Freesat HD recorder, you must use SlingPlayer for Android Phones rather than SlingPlayer for Android Tablets.

  • Thus far, we haven't found any Android tablets that CAN'T run SlingPlayer! While there is no free trial, you can install SlingPlayer for Android Tablets to see if it works on your tablet - there is a 15-minute refund period available through the Android Market.

  • You first need to download the application from the Android Market. SlingPlayer for Android Tablets is supported on supported Android tablets that are running  Android OS 3.0 or later. Additionally, you need:
