NO Update for ICS. Just a horrible money hungry co Sling Media has proven time and time again that they just don't care about their customers. Their only goal is to take as much from you as possible. $300 for the Slingbox and then $30 a pop per device. No universal tablet and phone app when there is no technical reason they couldn't. Also no updates in over a year...what a waste of $30..I've seen $3 apps get more frequent updates. No ICS full screen support.

Pathetic support UI IS BAD. NO AUDIO ONLY OR BACKGROUND ABILITY. POOR RESOLUTION EVEN ON WI-FI. NEEDS GUIDE. SLOW UPDATES. LAGGY CONTROLS.

Love it... When it works My Slingbox is one of the best pieces of consumer electronics I own. But right now there's a bug that keeps me from using this app. It will not complete the android marketplace validation. Once that bug is fixed, I will up my review to 5 stars.
