So I have had the Slingbox M1 for over a month. It’s been useful. I was especially grateful for it during the Final Four while visiting family and taking the kids around DC. All apologies to the various people I may have stumbled into while walking around the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum while trying to watch some pregame babbling.

It has been paying off on the weekends while my son has his Saturday soccer games and my daughter has softball practice Sunday evenings.

It’s been fun just to mess with the kids when I activate it on the TV they are using while I am out of the house. A little bit of a troll move on my part to switch it to SportsCenter when they are watching some god-awful Disney channel show (Phineas & Ferb, excepted), but I consider it payback for being exposed to even snippets of dialogue from KC Undercover.

At this point, I need to post some photos as proof I actually have and used the Slingbox.

The Slingbox M1 is relatively unobtrusive when set up with my satellite box.

There is no question that the quality is best when there is a good wi-fi connection. These shots were taken from my Kindle Fire HD while at a Starbucks.

One of the features I like in the Slingbox App is the fact that you get a replica of your actual remote. It makes it much easier to manage the channels and activities. Such as if you decide to watch something off of your DVR.

The next image was  from the Slingbox being streamed on my phone. The phone in question is a Galaxy S5 and I did have a 4G (Verizon) connection.

Since I downloaded the Slingbox app through Amazon’s app store, my wife has been able to use it as well on her phone during her slow times at work. Usually to watch stuff on the DVR and delete. Anything to clear space on the DVR is a bonus.

Thanks for putting up with the promotional posts.
