Sling announced the Slingbox Pro, which will accept high-definition digital television inputs via a standalone dongle. The Pro model will complement the Slingbox A/V, designed to serve as an intermediary for a standard set-top box or PVR. At the low end, Sling announced the Slingbox Tuner, a standalone device serving as a means for a traveling parent to be able to watch the local news or a baseball game while the rest of the family tuned in to a separate broadcast. As yet, none of the new Slingboxes can transmit HD content over the Internet, due to bandwidth constraints.
