We met them early enough," said Marti Nyman, Best Buy's point man with venture capitalists and director of its Global Innovation Network.

Founded in 2004, the Foster City, Calif.-based start-up developed a device called the Slingbox that allows users to connect a PC, laptop, or smart phone into their home televisions. Said Sling Media CEO Blake Krikorian: "They took a big gamble on us." And it appears to have paid off. "The product has sold incredibly well,'' Krikorian said.

A: All these comments about ‘well I think it’s going to be snacks or exclusive content, short form, whatever,’ you know, frankly so much of that is just utter bullshit, I mean to tell you the truth. It’s people coming up with marketing spins to justify the content that they have rights to. You go down to the store, go on any street corner, talk to people and say ‘do you want to watch television on your phone?’ and the people who will say yes, then you ask them, ‘OK, like what?’ And they’re not going to say ‘Hmm, I would prefer to like watch some like short form or some exclusive content tailored for the phone.’ They’re going to say the Super Bowl is on and I want to watch the Super Bowl or ‘The Daily Show’ is on and I recorded it on my TiVo and I want to watch it. It’s the TV programming that people know and love today and are familiar with.Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PSThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/04/01/ST2008040101384.htmlWaiting out a long delay can be a nightmare if you don't have a conduit to the outside world.

Plug one end into your Internet connection and the other into your home TV’s cable box or DVR or both, and you can watch television and your recorded video library on a computer, cellphone or laptop.

Indeed, the fact the television is no longer anchored to the living room is partly due to the company’s innovation. By place-shifting the content of users’ set-top boxes and other television gadgetry to PC and mobile devices, Sling Media has squarely taken on industries that froth at the mouth over any opportunity to nickel and dime customers.

Tom Freston, the former chief executive of Viacom, “looked at me like I was nuts” when I suggested it, recalls Jason Hirschhorn, then chief digital officer of Viacom’s MTV Networks. Times change. Later this year, Mr. Hirschhorn expects to launch a similar service for Sling Media Entertainment Group, manufacturer of the Slingbox, a device that allows consumers to watch television on multiple devices at any time and place.Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:00:00 PSThttp://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/goods/gadgets/2008/02/19/New-Digital-TV-BoxesSince the first Slingbox hit the market a few years ago, the device has developed a passionate following among frequent travelers.
