The SlingPlayer app for both Android and iOS has been discounted to $14.99 (50% off) after receiving a long-overdue update. SlingPlayer is one of the more expensive apps so grabbing it while it’s half-off is a must for anyone considering the purchase of a Slingbox. The SlingPlayer works in conjunction with a compatible Slingbox and smartphone or tablet, allowing users to watch live or recorded TV while on-the-go.

A Slingbox/SlingPlayer combo is the only way to truly take your TV with you. If you’re wondering what exactly a Slingbox is or how it works, you should check out our Ditch Those Crappy Video Subscription Services And Grab Yourself A Slingbox SOLO review.
