• Yes. In order to correctly configure the Slingbox, you must install the software on a PC or Mac and follow the installation wizard. Once configuration is complete, you will then be able to use SlingPlayer Mobile software on your Windows Mobile, Symbian, or Palm OS phone to watch and control your home TV. While the software for your PC or Mac is free, SlingPlayer Mobile costs $29.99 and is available from Sling Media.
