My Slingbox seems to dying slowly. I have to reboot it every couple weeks.

Which slingbox do you have and what are the symptoms?

Most slingbox problems are either power adapter going bad, bad caps, or bad voltage regulators. The voltage regulators I've only seen on the red slingbox pros.

But, but... I really would love to hear that some other company is keeping this concept alive as I gave my sister my real old HAVA box and I can't connect to it anymore. Is the idea dead? Pillow suffocated by big money?

It has become a pain to do with lots of devices going HDMI/HDCP coupled with the availability of streaming options. I would say it doesn't have a bright future. I think Hava is still selling stuff though.

Personally I've just been making do with Slingbox Pros, which get what I need done.

Still using old slingbox pro. Around $20-$30 and can do 3 devices, composite, svideo, and component.

Only use client on Win10 and Android.

Self-contained, no need for Slngbox servers to be running with the older client on Win10.
