ITEM: SLINGCATCHER
SlingCatcher

The SlingCatcher is a universal media player for your TV. SlingCatcher's on-screen interface and remote control provide easy access to TV from your Slingbox, Internet video from your PC, or personal media from your USB hard drive. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the digital age on your TV screen.

TV from your Slingbox
Access your Slingbox on another TV in your house or anywhere in the world.

Internet video from your PC
If you can watch a video on your PC, you can use SlingProjector to project it wirelessly to your TV.

Personal media from your USB hard drive
Attach USB storage to SlingCatcher and view your favorite media files on your TV.

The SlingCatcher allows you to access any device connected to your Slingbox on another TV in your home or even a TV in another location. Check out these examples:

Watch and Control Your Slingbox-Connected PVR

PVRs are great, and anyone who has ever used one can't go back to the old way of watching TV. But if you have multiple TVs in your house, your PVR content is usually stuck on one of them. The solution? Hook up a Slingbox to the PVR and a SlingCatcher to another TV. Instantly you can watch and control your PVR and all its programming from that TV too -- with no additional monthly fees.

Connect to Your Slingbox at Home

Going away to college can be tough. You leave your family, friends, and local sports teams behind. With a SlingCatcher in your dorm room, you can connect to your Slingbox at home, and it's just like having a really, really long cable. You can hijack your parents' TV or watch shows and games together -- virtually, of course.

SlingProjector software for Windows XP and Vista* lets you select any window on your PC to project full screen onto your TV. This is ideal for watching an ever increasing amount of Internet video content on your TV instead of a laptop screen. Clips from YouTube or internet TV, full episodes from iPlayer or Demand Five, even streaming feature length movies from Lovefilm can all be projected to your big screen, so you can sit back on the couch and enjoy. SlingProjector works with most web sites and video players. ** Check out a few of these examples:

Project YouTube from your PC

Everyone knows YouTube. Whether you find the millions of hours of user-generated video funny, disgusting, educational, or a good way to veg out on a Sunday afternoon, now you can easily share your favorite moments with family and friends on your big screen TV rather than hunkered around a tiny laptop.

Project Catch-up TV from Your PC

Just plug a SlingCatcher in to your TV and you can watch all the catch-up TV services from your laptop including BBC iplayer, FiveTV, 4od or ITV.com on the large screen

Project Lovefilm from your PC

If you have a Lovefilm account, you already know you can stream thousands of full-length TV shows and movies to your computer. That's great if you're a lonely guy living in a 6' x 6' box. But if you want to watch a show or movie with your family, you probably want to sit back on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn. Now you can. And you never have to wait for your DVDs to arrive in the mail.

Whether you find the millions of hours of user-generated video funny, disgusting, educational, or a good way to veg out on a Sunday afternoon, now you can easily share your favorite moments with family and friends on your big screen TV rather than hunkered around a tiny laptop.
