Sling Media Inc. will unveil SlingCatcher at CES, although they say it will not be available until the middle of the year. The price should be about $200.
The SlingCatcher is a new set-top box, which actually does the reverse of the Slingbox. The SlingCatcher will send multimedia from the Web to your TV, whether it's a slideshow from a photo-sharing site, clips from a video sharing site, or films downloaded from an online movie service. SlingCatcher will hook up to your TV and must be connected to your home computer network. To accomplish this SlingCatcher will work with the free SlingPlayer media software that has to be installed on a laptop or desktop computer to convert digital media formats into video and audio playable on televisions.
