Can it be used to stream video from a tablet to a projector using slingplayer app for android? Tablet is using android 4.4.2. Thank you.

Yes/no. The signal will go Frank a tablet to a projector but the projector must have an HDMI port. I think Slingplayer will do it but the device would rather see the EZCast software that is designed for it and it's free. Sorry for the delay...

Any will work, it is a standard composite output. I use one that has SDCard on a continuous loop. And monitor it with one of the inputs on my Slingbox. Works great!!

you will be able to...it has an HDMI port so you will be able to get a good chromecast...plug that into the HDMI of the projector and whatever you stream from your tablet will show up on the projector

Yes, you can watch videos. But as far playing games I would not suggest this tablet because of the older operating system. I think it is android 3.4 and cannot be upgraded any further. This would make your gaming run at slower speed.

Best I can tell, you can use a Bluetooth adapter to stream all kinds of video but the receiver does not have any video app that I know of. Only Spotify and Pandora.

This is an accessory to a Dish subscription. The Sling adapter will stream your content from a compatible Dish receiver. From my experience you will want to use a wired ethernet connection to your Dish receiver while using the Sling adapter to get a constant HD stream.

The only way I know to do that would be to port your connection from a phone or tablet(with the slingbox software/app) on it, to the TV by a hardwire connection. I have done this before.

Yes, I bought this tablet strictly for my son to stream netflix and play angry birds. We couldn't do either on the darn thing. Eventually it kept freezing so much that we gave up and returned it.

Since I don't have a sling box, I'm not sure. However, hooking it up to my computer and then to other USB supported pieces of equipment; it worked fine.

Your tablet will probably support it after you get an update to Android 4.2 or above. Screencasting (miracast) is not natively supported on lower versions of Android.

I can stream any video from any source on my phone. Netflix, hulu, you tube, any site from the internet. I haven't had any problems with streaming with this product.

I don't think it will stream live TV, only movies, you have to have some provider of live tv on the other end with a sling box connected to cable or satellite.

The real question is how it went up to $500 at present (June 2014)!! Now that's a rip-off. Does a little less than a $35 Chromecast at 15x the price. Chromecast is due to get Sling support shortly.

To stream to a pad the video has to be coded to stream to a mobile device. Currently there are not a lot of sites that do that besides youtube and netflix. Netflix 1.2.2 will work, but now you need to download the version with the update check disabled because even though Netfliz continues to break support for every update they make, you now are forced to update, which breaks compatablility. Google the version with update disabled and you will find it.

If your device supports H.264 and RTSP then I would say yes, otherwise your device will not be able to see the video stream. I looked up the Digimerge and it runs embedded Linux and says it supports H.264 and RTSP. I use an old version of Linux on a PC with Zoneminder that didn't support it but I was able to compile a newer version of ffmpeg and zoneminder and it now works great. So I would say you have a pretty good chance it will work as-is.
