SlingPlayer basics

Chapter
SlingPlayer lets you watch your TV on any supported Mac, PC or mobile device. This
chapter will help you get to know the application on a Macintosh. It's very similar on
other platforms.

Watching SlingPlayer at home on your Mac

Watching your Slingbox can be as easy as starting the SlingPlayer software.

If you watch a single Slingbox

If you're like most people, you normally watch a single Slingbox. You can tell
SlingPlayer to remember the connection settings for that Slingbox, so you'll connect
to it automatically when you launch SlingPlayer.
To launch SlingPlayer:
1.
2.
3.

If you watch more than one Slingbox

If you're a big Slingbox fan, and you watch more than one Slingbox, see "Using
Slingbox Directory to view and add more Slingboxes" on page 52.
