SlingPlayer gets expanded support for Symbian smartphones

SlingPlayer on the Nokia N95
Sling Media first launched a Symbian version of its SlingPlayer software which lets you stream live TV from your home to your cellphone last fall. But now the company is improving its Symbian software, with support for UIQ on Symbian devices. Support is also coming soon for the Nokia N95 phone, which has 8GB of internal memory and a nice big screen, making it an ideal device for multimedia.

Support for UIQ handsets should roll out this summer, with support for the following models initially:
  • Sony Ericsson P1i, P990i, W960i, W950i, M600i
  • Motorola MOTORIZR Z8
In order to watch live or recorded TV on your mobile device using the SlingPlayer software you'll need to purchase a Slingbox, which is a set top box that you plug into your home TV or other video source and connect to your home network. SlingPlayer Mobile clients are also available for Windows Mobile and PalmOS devices, and Sling Media plans to roll out a BlackBerry client later this year.

Watching movies on my Smartphone lets me enjoy more TV when I am not home. I use my Sling adapter from DISH Network to maximize my TV time. This device will let you use a tablet, Android phone, and PC to view TV. This works great if you are waiting for a flight and need to kill time. This I use when I travel as well. This works great for the kids to watch there cartoons. I recommend this to people who can’t always be home even though this is great for everyone. Working over at DISH I was excited when this was released now I can’t see being with out it. This is being offered free for a limited time so don’t wait get one today. Take advantage of DISH Networks other features like the HD free for life. Get over 200 channels free and save $120.00 annually doing so.
