I have 2-slingbox 500 (on Xfinity) and gave one M1 to my uncle (Dish).  They are awesome!
Pro's
-Watch TV anywhere using the Android App ($15) where there is WIFI and even using Verizon Data: Anywhere in my house using my tablets (bed, backyard), In the Car while driving, at a coffee shop (on my laptop), waiting at the airport and even using the WIFI on the plane (they haven't block slingbox streaming yet like Pandora).
-Watch the Local TV anywhere in the world.  This is crucial if you are a sports fan.  When traveling, I can watch my Football games (go Hawks!) anytime.  For my Dad it was the Warriors at a restaurant (What's the score, Dad?)
-Sign into Dad's slingbox to watch his channels.
-Mirrored the slingbox (using the Microsoft Wireless HDMI Adapter) to my 50 inch TV.  Just need internet access.
-M1 does not have the HDMI.  The time when HDMI on slingbox 500 may be valuable is if:
1. You have a regular cable channel that is Hi definition and is NOT blocked by the Cable box. If the Hi Definition Channel goes into your Slingbox 500 connected to Hi Speed Internet and then received using Hi Speed internet through your App or computer, then the output maybe Hi Definition.  For Hi Definition output to work, you really need Hi Speed connection or else you will get buffering.  If not the slingbox app drops to Low SD resolution.
2.  Cable companies can block more digital content through HDMI vs the component Red, White (sound) and Yellow (video).  The channels you watch may be blocked so the slingbox 500 lets you set up the box on both HDMI and components.  This is why the M1 maybe a cheaper option to view all of your channels without Hi Definition.
3. You have lower resolution using the M1 box.  You have to try it out to see what the output is on your screen.  If you are watch on a tablet, the M1 may not be an issue due to its size.  But once you mirror or output your image to a large screen TV, for me it looks like the old Analogue TV.
-Setup was easy.  Just watch the Setup Video on your phone why you are setting the device up.  Think of keeping you devices in/out from device to device.  SET TOP Box to Slingbox.  Slingbox splits the TV info to send to the Internet and to the TV.  When it is set up on a SET TOP Box in one room, it does not affect another TV with a Cable Box in another room.  You don't need the TV once the slingbox is set up.  Only one person can watch the slingbox over the internet but a person can watch on the original TV at the same time.  If anyone changes the channel, then it changes the channel for everyone viewing.

Con
-I watch more TV than I need to!
-The Ads, nothing to be frustrated about.  It may be a short ad while slingbox is loading but once started, there are no more ads.
-Sometimes after watch for hours, I might have to reboot my Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
-Slingbox runs better on the android app than a computer. Slingbox can be installed on Mozilla Firefox without Admin Priv's.  But on Chrome, you will need Admin Rights.  You will also need to update your Adobe Flash which is getting antiquated. Sometimes on the computer, it may disconnect and thus the 4 STARS.  Slingbox needs to continue to update and improve it's players.

Overall, it is a great item that can save you tons of money.
Recap re: M1
-Try it out on your Screens that you viewing (large TV, tablets).  If the viewing is fine and OK,then the lower cost M1 is great.
-If you are needing Hi Def you need to try the Slingbox 500 HDMI + Hi Speed Cable.  Note: if you are watching on Your phone Data Plan you don't want Hi Def because it may use too much data or in a public space you don't have access (generally) to Hi Speed unless you pay for it.

Happy Slinging

Simple problem.

I got this today so I haven't done everything I want to yet. I did hook an Intel NUK to a VGA monitor from its HDMI port. I had to change the sound path in the NUK to get it to my monitor that has its own speakers. Now when I had enough computer work I can stream Direct TV now from my NUK to the monitor. I can now watch TV if I want where I couldn't before. Seems like good deal to me.

Not maybe your problem!  But I can only get 1 channel out of 500! Maybe have to go with a different scanner that may pick up more!  Any ideas would be helpful for my local area in fond du lac Wisconsin!  Thanks!

Well, for roughly the cost of 1 months cable bill, I now get all local broadcast stations from Detroit, AND Toledo. Not to mention, the HD quality is BETTER than with the HD box comcast supplied me, and charged extra for. So now I spend 8.00 a month for netflix, 8.00 a month for hulu plus, along with my internet bill, is around 50.00 a month, a 110.00 savings over what I was paying, with better picture quality, through RG6 coax cable. This is a must buy, build quality is excellent, super easy to install with the J-mount antenna pole.

It just works with almost zero configuration.  The cablecard setup took 3 minutes with our cable provider (Mediacom) and I just picked up the card at their office with no hassle or stupid questions.  I'm using HDHRFling and Roku to stream to the sets, but the silicon dust app for Android works great for anything that supports android apps.  ($0.99 for the app, though.  BOOO!)  I do seriously wish there were better DVR options because I am NOT going to use Microsoft Media Center.

I have a Roku 3 at home ... I miss it when I travel ... now I have a full Roku box in a stick to travel with. When I registered the stick, all my Roku 3 channels immediately initialized on the stick. I'm happy!

I never believed I could get this many channels for free again. Our association changed our cable to one that required a box (for rent) for every TV you wish to use. I have a guest room that is rarely used but have a TV available for use. I didn't see the sense of paying for a box on a room that wasn't regularly used. Thinking about getting it for one of the other rooms. To my surprise, it also added channels to our "emergency cable channels".

I didn't know I would get all the same HD channels I get with cable with the Streaming Fire system. I disconnected my cable hook up and I'm still getting the same channels through the cable system with the same remote and able to use their DVR BOX.It doesn't sound right but it's working so far.

I connected to my Dish tv back home and was able to see the world cup match in the Middle east - as well as connect and show my mom her TV show even though that channel was not part of my bouquet here in Kuwait

This was bought accidently as a bundle.  Save yourself trouble and pay a bit extra and get a properly amplified antenna, so you can watch ALL channels.

Best move I made since TV was free.

Like the interface better than both Verizon's and Comcast's, and my bill went from $150 a month with channels I never watched, to $70 a month with Basic Local Channels, Internet, Netflix, and TiVo's monthly fee (roughly $10 a month for Netflix, and TiVo's).

OK, it did take a bit of running around to get a the necessary 'cable card' from Comcast (first one is free, so if you get additional TiVo Mini's, you don't need additional cable cards for each (just one for the 'mother ship'). And it took a phone call to TiVo support to get things rolling, but it was worth the hassle; now I don't rent my boxes, I own them.

Just one note, make sure you get a Tivo (Roamio, etc.) with enough channels to handle the number of mini's you want to hook-up to it.

I was able to get 10 crystal clear channels. I live in the western part of MA. As long as I can watch the patriots and local news I'm good. If I need to see anything else I can find it on Netflix, you tube, Internet, or fire stick
