Dish Network has announced that it will permanently shut down all of Sling Media’s Slingbox services, servers and support for devices in two years – November 9th 2022. After that, they will no longer work.
Until then, most Slingbox models will continue to work normally but the number of supported devices for viewing will steadily decrease as versions of the SlingPlayer apps become outdated or lose compatibility.
Sling will not be releasing any new products and most authorized resellers have been out of stock of the Slingbox devices for years. Slingbox reached its height in the late 2000s and was one of the earliest devices that let customers watch pay-TV channels over the internet.
