The Slingbox lets you placeshift your favorite TV Programming to a PC, Mac or Mobile phone, one of the most requested features from the Sling Community has been to provide the ability to sling that same programming to another TV located in the home or to a TV in a remote location. The SlingPlayer for TV Application built into the SlingCatcher delivers an easy, familiar way for customers to move TV content around the home or access content from the home remotely via a TV, without the need for a PC or Mac in the process.

The SlingCatcher also has the ability to Download or Stream content directly from the Internet and display it on a TV without the need for a PC to serve that content. Sling is currently discussing partnership opportunities with both large and small content owners to create and deliver their offerings directly to the TV via the SlingCatcher. The add-on Storage capability (via hard Disk drive attachment) could be utilized for direct delivery of such content.

SlingCatcher includes both standard definition and High Definition AV outputs to connect to a TV including HDMI, Component, S-Video and Composite video, as well as Analog and Digital audio. In regards to Network connectivity, the SlingCatcher features both Integrated wireless and a standard Ethernet jack to connect to the home.
