Foster City, Calif. - Sling Media this week shipped its SlingCatcher set-top box to retailers, a universal media player that can deliver broadcast TV, Internet video and personal content to a television. The $299 device will enable owners to watch Web videos from sites like YouTube and Hulu on their televisions, as well as most video formats stored on a portable hard drive or USB drive connected directly to the set-top. The SlingCatcher will also allow owners to watch their home TV on another TV without the need for a PC.
