All you SlingPlayer fans with tablets can finally get your DVR on the go as SlingMedia has pushed a new “made for tablets” app to the Android market. Alongside the functionality you’re already familiar with, you get an on-screen replica if your cable or satellite remote that can be used to perform any function your real remote can.
There’s also an enhanced program guide that mirrors the listings you get at home. You’ll also get to set favorite channels for easy access later on. Unfortunately they didn’t package this one into the existing app for phones – you’re going to have to pay another $30 if you want this one. For new users, you’ll need a SlingBox Solo or SlingBox Pro-HD to hook up to your set-top box. After that, you’re good to go. Find the tablet-specific offering in the Android market.
