(andPOP) - Sling Media today announced the availability of SlingPlayer for Mac, their software client that allows SlingBox and Apple TV users to stream their set top box directly to their computer from anywhere in the world. Version 1.0 includes photo-realistic remotes with the ability to program your favourite channels. In addition, its wide range of viewing modes allow you to truly experience the Macs look and feel.
"We have long admired the elegance, simplicity and visual appeal of the Mac OS and Apple's innovation in general,” said Blake Krikorian, Sling Media CEO, Chairman & Co-founder. "It was important for us to capture that overall appeal and familiarity with SlingPlayer for Mac. In fact, we turned to the Mac community, through our private and public betas, where we received overwhelming feedback from these passionate users. It was this feedback that was instrumental in being able to present the Mac community with a quality television experience on their platform of choice. Being able to bring the SlingPlayer to the Mac is a real milestone towards delivering television on all available platforms and displays."
