The key feature of the SlingCatcher is its SlingProjector capability. Like SlingSync, SlingProjector is also part of Sling’s download package for the computer. When you run SlingProjector, you can either select an active video window or the entire screen to beam in real-time to the SlingCatcher. We recommend the former since this option involves the streaming of a lot less bandwidth. You select the window by running the SlingProjector tool, which will plant a little, circular panel on your desktop, then by selecting the left button on the panel. As you move your mouse around, you’ll start to see an outline snap around the panels under the mouse. When you’ve outlined your target video window, left-click it and the outline will turn blue. Audio will instantly be rerouted from the PC speakers down to the home theater. Head back to your TV and check it out.

Why don't I see print option for this story? I usually print the long stories on this site and read it later.

You're right--there is no print option on this type of story. For "slide show" articles where you click through to see the next page and picture, we don't aggregate all the pages into a printable format like we do for reviews. Perhaps this is a feature we will add in the future.

Thanks for reading,
