Written on Jan 6, 2010 by Charles Jefferies and filed under News

Sling Media today introduced four new OEM products at CES 2010. The products include the following:

• Slingbox 700U
• Sling Monitor 150
• Sling Receiver 300
• Sling Touch Control 100

Slingbox 700U

The Slingbox 700U is an ultra-slim device that adds HD Slingbox capability to any compatible set-top box over USB. It is the smallest Slingbox produced to date and will be first offered by DISH Network. It will be a low-cost add-on for television service providers thanks to its USB connection and self configuration. The device is powered by USB as well so only one cord goes in and out of the box.

Sling Monitor 150

The Sling Monitor 150 is a portable flat-screen display that wirelessly displays HD DVR content anywhere in your home. It features a 15.6-inch 720p display with built-in stereo speakers and a folding stand for counter/wall-mounted use. It features 802.11n wireless and supports WEP/WPA/WPA2 wireless security.

Sling Receiver 300

The Sling Receiver 300 is a companion product for the company’s SlingLoaded set-top box designed to stream 1080i video from an HD DVR to any other HDTV in the home over the home wireless network. This eliminates the need for an additional DVR or more wires. The Sling Receiver 300 connects to the second TV via its HDMI port, component or composite video connectors.

Sling Touch Control 100

The last product on the list is the Sling Touch Control 100, a touch-screen device with an interface based on the company’s SlingGuide electronic program guide. It has a powerful search feature that makes it easy for viewers to discover new programming. The Touch Control 100 has a 4.3-inch capacitive touch-screen. It communicates with HD DVRs and other SlingGuide-enabled devices over the Internet on home wireless networks or via infrared.
