Great, great product This app has been a pleasant surprise. The package as a whole makes me wish that I had multiple slingboxes.

problems. It insists that I update the firmware (thought that was automatic?) and their website forces me to install a plugin, then stops responding. Ate the refund window completely. Might work after all this, but it feels like a scam so far..

Galaxy Tablet 7.8 Love it when it works. Used to disconnect too often. Just upgraded to a new Slingbox Solo. Love having the remote control on the screen. Hopefully connection improves. If so, I'll add more stars :-)

Getting better & better I installed it immediately when it came available & was disappointed by the lack of a good remote & poor performance. The latest update & possibly a tweak to my settings have greatly improved my enjoyment of this app. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that I would like to have my Transformer keyboard function with the keyboard shortcuts that are available in the windows version. Very impressed!!

Love it. It delivers what is promised. Too bad there is no HDMI input, though.
