Much like Applian’s At-Large Recorder 2 these free applications allow for recording of the SlingStream, including schedule recordings. Actually, a small suite of applications – Slinger, SLR Recorder, and VSLR Player. There’s another free application, which is a bit more user friendly. The project includes an SDK for communicating with any model of Slingbox, a basic recording application, and a plug-in to access the Slingbox from within VLC. Completely free, but really for the geeks. The full version allows recording without limitation.Īt the other end of the spectrum is the open-source Slingbox SDK developed by Alexandre Lefebvre. If you like it, you can purchase the activation key for $49.95. Which is probably enough to grab clips if that’s all you need. You can download At-Large Recorder 2 and try it out as a demo, which allows you to record 5 minutes per recording. At-Large Recorder 2 works with any Slingbox, and allows for scheduled recordings, turning your Slingbox into a remote tuner for recording on your PC. However, Applian eventually sorted out how to make their software with newer Slingboxes, and they released At-Large Recorder 2. However, Sling Media later made changes to their SlingStream which blocked recording from Slingboxes with newer firmware, so users could only use it with un-upgraded, older units. Early on Applian Technologies released At-Large Recorder, which allowed users to record the streams from their Slingbox. So it shouldn’t be any surprise that the Slingbox is no different.Īt commercial option comes from Applian Technologies.
Many DVD players have 3rd party firmware loads, or hack sites with back door codes to disable region locks, etc. iPod & iPhone users have many add-on vendors as well as hacking and jailbreak sites. TiVo users have offerings from DVRupgrade, WeaKnees, and 9th Tee, as well as numerous community projects such as TiVo Decode and WinMFS/MFSLive.
Of course, most people are familiar with automotive after-market add-ons, but your tech gadgets aren’t left out of the picture. It seems that for every gizmo and gadget that is released these days a community of hackers and after-market vendors springs up to offer add-ons to power users and geeks to soup them up.
