This company is a scam! After the warranty expires, a firmware update breaks the device, rendering it useless and forcing you to buy a new one. Tech support is another scam. Basically they are only there to take your money instead of helping you fix a problem. They know the device is FUBR, but are only there to rob an additional $29.99 from you.

They offered to send a new power brick first incase it was that instead of the unit itself. They said they'd send a new unit if the power brick didn't solve the problem. I've emailed them back a few times since and got a couple of replies with 'oh it hasn't been resolved yet?'. I was all ready to adjust the post about how they gained my confidence back in their service and now here we are again.

The forums are full of people reporting problems and you get NO explanation from Slingboxofcrap. Very frustrating. Their handling of these problems has been dreadful.

So, you can get something from them if you have time and make some research. Hi,
