Sling Solo launched

The Solo from Sling has just been launched, and it boasts a bevy of connections. Tipped to be Sling’s most popular model, the Solo supports up to 1080i from a cable box, be it regular or digital, DVR, satellite receiver, and Apple TV. Whenever you’re traveling around, you can still control these boxes at home, allowing you to change channels on the TV while streaming the show over the Internet to your computer or mobile device. Connectivity is extended to component as well as USB, although there is no confirmation as to whether the USB port allows you to hook up to an external drive or not. You can pick one up today for $180, although it is currently depicted as “Out of Stock”. Pretty popular, huh?
