SlingPlayer Mobile app turns the Archos 101 into a portable 10 inch TV

11/28/2010 at 7:38 AM by Brad Linder 8 Comments

Sure, it was cool when Sling Media launched a SlingPlayer Mobile app for Android this summer, letting you stream live or recorded TV from your home to a mobile phone. But somehow it’s a lot cooler on a 10 inch tablet like the iPad, or an Archos 101.

As it turns out, the app runs great on the Archos 101, which features a 10 inch capacitive touchscreen tablet, a 1GHz ARM-based processor and support for HD graphics.

In order to use the $30 SlingPlayer app, you’ll need to have a supported Slingbox hooked up to your home media system. Once that’s done, you can stream live TV from a cable, satellite, IPTV, or broadcast signal, or play recorded shows from  TiVo or other supported DVR. You get virtual on-screen remote control functions, fast forward, rewind, pause, controls, an electronic program guide, and pretty much everything you need to watch TV on the go.

You can check out a video of SlingPlayer Mobile on the Archos 101 after he break, courtesy of YouTube user ruinah1.

If only the app were free. It feels like a rip off to have to buy a box. and then the app along with paying the cable bill, just so I can sit on the toilet watching the game.

Sounds cool. I will try download that app and check whether it can install into my tablet. Whoop, my Android tablet is not so powerful as iPad. http://goo.gl/e8AYF

Seems odd to hype an add-on for a product that’s not even been released yet for purchase.

Liliputing, please don’t go the route that Amazon does for reviews/hype for things that the public is unable to obtain. Please wait until item or product can actually be purchased – sneek peeks are fine…but stink of vaporware marketing tactics.

Is this app can record TV for my iPad with the iPad supports format?

Claude, it all depends what you want. I have had several Slingboxes since they first came out (at least 5 years ago). I travel a lot and it is fascinating to watch my home tv channels when I am in Latin America, Europe or China. I even use it at home while my wife watches the big screen tv. I find Slingbox a great value for money and I am excited to use it on my Archos 101 when I receive it next week. At the end of the day, value is in the ey of the beholder.

Has anyone been able to download the Slingplayer on an Archos 101 after installing Froyo ?

Slingmedia says to search for “slingplayer mobile” in market but I can’t find it? Anyone else?

I was debating about trading in my slingbox for a hava but since there’s an android player, I’ll keep my slingbox pro.
