SlingPlayer coming to Android

I’m sure those of your following the Android scene will have already heard that the SlingPlayer is coming to an Android device near you soon.

For those who don’t know about Sling, it’s basically a setup that allows you to stream television from your home to your mobile device.

Connect the SlingBox to your Sky box (or Freeview if you’re poor like me) and connect it to your broadband router and away you go. You now have access to your home TV – but on the move. It’s even clever enough to allow changing of channels remotely which is surely a God-send? Imagine if you had accidentally left your Freeview set to ITV2 and had to put up with a whole day’s worth of Trisha and Jeremy Kyle.

The app is supposedly going to be out sometime this summer so not too long to wait. It will work both over 3G and WiFi so you should be able to catch up with Neighbours or Home & Away wherever you are.
