SlingLoaded Solutions
We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about “TV Everywhere” lately. Well, welcome to the party. Six years ago, Sling Media® created the Slingbox® and placeshifting to deliver the full TV living room experience anywhere over the Internet. For us, “Watch Your TV Anywhere” is more than a tag line. Real placeshifting is not just an authentication scheme or a collection of clips and episodes on a web site. And while many might want to proclaim “over the top video” as being the future of the TV industry, it's not. It’s just one piece of the puzzle.
To solve the puzzle, we’ve developed a whole suite of technologies—hardware, software, mobile, web, and set-top boxes like EchoStar’s tru2way T2200S. These technologies can be licensed by pay TV operators and hardware manufacturers to bring real placeshifting to customers immediately. When a hardware or software product supports placeshifting, we call it SlingLoaded.
Only SlingLoaded devices can bring the same consistent, reliable, and high quality living room TV experience to all three screens—to other televisions and consumer electronics devices around the house, on a laptop, or on a mobile phone.
Your customer can watch and control all the content on their set-top box in the normal lineup they’re used to watching. Live shows, recorded content, VOD—everything. They can watch, change channels, and set recordings just like at home with a virtual remote that looks and acts like the one stuck in their sofa cushions. It’s powerful because it is actually their TV. And it locks them in to your brand.
Nothing is hotter than mobile today. And operators who can’t supply cellular service are at a critical disadvantage. SlingPlayer Mobile™ extends your TV offering to the handset. Regardless of your customers’ wireless carrier, they get the same great content and the same great experience.
Placeshifting as a service is a key differentiator that adds real value and leverages the broadband service you already offer. Your triple play just got stronger.
SlingLoaded also means content is tied to an already secure and authenticated set-top box. Your customers can enjoy the content they have paid for—anywhere.
The SlingGuide option enhances the way your customers browse, search, and discover their programming. And with our Sling.com video portal, it’s all integrated. Internet streaming (“over the top video”), Internet viewing of placeshifted DVR content, VOD, and most importantly live TV are all wrapped into one powerful web destination.
Why wait years for an expensive IP head end that will only solve a few pieces of the puzzle, when SlingLoaded technology is available now and can scale with your needs?
