Slingplayer for EVO 4G

BillJr106 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2010, 04:49 PM

Has anyone tried Slingplayer with a PRO HD Slingbox yet?? I want to know if this thing gets a full screen resolution. The only vid I saw on YouTube shrunk the video to a 4x3 image size in the center of the phone landscaped, and then letterboxed from there... That sounds a little counter productive and not very good use of the screen.

I guess what I am wondering is if anyone can confirm that the phone can use the full screen and full resolution with Slingplayer... Ill test it in 3 days when my Slingbox PRO HD arrives, but was hoping for a heads up.....

Envious of your setup. I'm still on my old SB Classic, and due to living in the country I'm limited to a 512 up connection. And I'm lucky to have that...

Anyway, still not too bad. No problems getting full screen (well, slight letterboxing on top and bottom):

for some reason, it feels like streaming was faster on my TP2 then on the EVO. im using a Slingbox Solo with a 4MB upload.

You will always get letterboxing on top and bottom since the screen isnt a standard 16:9 display i believe

Weird, I'm running the same setup (but 5mbps up) but I get letterboxing on the sides...
weird....

Bought mine at Best Buy yesterday! Got it all working and I love it. Being able to watch live Directv anywhere in the world + getting the Android app for free = awesomeness.

One of the beautiful things about the Android Marketplace refund policy is that you can get anything for free. Not that you should do that though.
