slinger was started to continue use of the hardware 3 4 history edit the slingbox was first developed in 2002 by two californian brothers blake and jason krikorian who were avid sports fans they supported the san francisco giants a major league baseball team whose games were broadcast regularly by their local tv station 5 however when travelling away from their home state they found they were unable to watch their favorite team because their games were not carried by television stations in other parts of the united states and could not be found for free online 6 the first edition of the slingbox came to market in late 2005 7 technology edit hardware edit rear panel of a slingbox solo the traditional slingbox embeds a video encoding chip to do real time encoding of a video and audio stream into the smpte 421m vc 1 format 8 that can be transmitted over the internet via the asf streaming format later slingboxes also support apple s http live streaming 9 which requires support for h 264 the slingboxes up until the fourth generation or next generation slingbox used a texas instruments chipset 10 current generation slingboxes and oem products are built around a vixs chipset 11 12 13 control of the hosting video device usually a set top box is done through an ir blaster which on older slingboxes required the use of an ir blaster dongle current generation slingboxes have built in ir blasters on the box itself though customers can opt to continue to use the ir blaster dongle all slingboxes include an ethernet port that connects to a local network and out to the internet the slingbox 500 was the first to include built in wi fi 14 15 cloud infrastructure edit sling used an amazon web services based infrastructure 16 17 to support encoding relaying streams and analytics it also sourced data from multiple repositories to help guide recommendations to users including social networks facebook and twitter and specialty services like thuuz for sports 18 19 this infrastructure also allowed sling to report on aggregate television watching behavior they have released several infographics 20 21 and provide a nielsen like weekly report of the top shows 22 clients
