About this app

Let us entertain you -- with Slingplayer
What does it mean to have the best TV experience? It means getting the absolute most out of the cable and on demand services you already pay for. Only Slingplayer can do that through a single interface, without need of multiple service providers or contracts, or adding more channel apps. It delivers 100% of all your channels anywhere – at home over WiFi, or on-the-go via 3G, 4G, or LTE – even internationally.
Watch and control 100% of the cable or satellite channels you already pay for, live or recorded, on your Android Phone anywhere you have an Internet connection —with absolutely no monthly fees
• No blocked shows or games in any location
• Watch your favorite shows and sports on all the channels you subscribe to, even when you’re overseas
• View and manage DVR recordings
• Watch on a second TV in your home, vacation getaway, hotel suite, or dorm room with Apple TV®, Chromecast® or Roku®
• Enjoy a full hand-off of what you’re watching to your Roku or Chromecast; scroll through the program guide or gallery on your phone, multi-task, even take phone calls
• Replace your Slingbox 500 remote control with the Android phone soft remote. That’s one less remote control in your collection
• Absolutely no monthly fees
