Sling Media has announced today a new high-end Slingbox, the PRO-HD, which is capable of streaming HD content over the internet.

The device works with any home television source, including over the air HD digital signals, HDTV cable or satellite receivers, or HD DVR’s, to a laptop or desktop computer in and around the house.

The Slingbox PRO-HD can also be viewed remotely (out-side of your home network) if you have upload speeds of 1.5 – 2 Mbps or higher.

As part of the Slingbox PRO-HD product, Sling Media is also announcing SlingStream 2.0. SlingStream 2.0 allows the Slingbox PRO-HD to adaptively stream high quality television content across virtually any network connection.

While other Sling devices allow HD inputs, the Slingbox PRO-HD is the first Sling device capable of streaming HD content without downgrading. The Slingbox PRO-HD preserves the original resolution of the feed and delivers it to a HD-compatible laptop or desktop computer or secondary TV when paired with a SlingCatcher.

Slingbox PRO-HD will be available for purchase in Q3 2008 for a suggested retail price of $439.99CAD.
