Sling Media has released a video demo’ing the long promised SlingPlayer for iPad. The streamer has higher quality video than any of Sling’s other apps and makes use of the extra display space to provide a large channel guide and an on-screen number pad that still shows most of the picture underneath when up.
Viewers can still remote control a DVR if it’s connected to a Slingbox and can also fine-tune the aspect ratio to one of four settings if the video doesn’t properly scale.
The new SlingPlayer doesn’t have a firm release date but should cost the same $30 as it does for smartphones. iPad users will need either a Pro-HD or Solo to stream the video.
