The newly introduced Slingbox M1 and SlingTV boxes replace the Slingbox 350 and 500 models, and both are the only products capable of delivering pay TV channels and programs to a mobile device in up to HD quality “with no restrictions,” EchoStar-owned Sling Media said Wednesday. The company says the Slingbox M1, listed at $149, is “the most affordable” Slingbox that Sling Media has ever produced. It has integrated Wi-Fi and uses the new SlingPlayer for Desktop app for PCs and Mac to cut set-up to less than 10 minutes, it said. The new SlingTV, $299, uses new TV navigational tools to enable better viewing of pay TV channels anywhere in the world on a computer or mobile device, it said. It also converts the TV connected to it into a “smarter” set without having to upgrade to a new TV or set-top box, it said.
