How to Record in SlingBox
The SlingBox is a TV streaming device that allows you to watch television on a computer or other device through the use of SlingPlayer software. It works on both PC and Mac computers and on many smart phones, including Android phones, the iPhone and iPad.
Although the SlingBox and SlingPlayer software do not offer recording options, through the use of a DVR or third-party software, you can record live TV and save it to your PC or Mac computer.
