SlingPlayer 2.0 escapes beta, Slingbox PRO HD "any day now"

by Thomas Ricker, posted Sep 24th 2008 at 2:05AM

Not that any of you would be shy from running beta software, but at least now your milquetoastian friends can experience Sling's latest, Windows-based SlingPlayer 2.0 without fear of the beta baddies. Still no Clip+Sling sharing, but the new 60-minute buffer, EPG, and on-screen SlingRemote certainly makes this a worthwhile update. We've also got good new for those of you waiting for the SlingBox PRO-HD to ship -- Sling says "any day now" in accordance to their late September pre-order promise. Righteous.

[Thanks, Martin]

Dilemma... My Slingbox Pro stopped working. Maybe I should bite the bullet and upgrade.
