Slingbox Mobile: Streaming to a 2005 iPaq Pocket PC

Follow-up to this video: • RIP Slingbox! Testing ...
After finding the old Windows Mobile software for my 2005 Slingbox, I had to test it out on my HP iPaq RX1995 PocketPC. So let's do just that! Plus testing streaming video over LAN after the servers shut down in November 2022.

[@BOYD1981]

Being able to watch 4K HDR content on my phone will never be as impressive to me as something like this, pushing the limits of outdated technology is so much more fun than things just working on new hardware.

[@Zarnubius]

I'm not exactly sure of the exact date that it happened, but I stopped being impressed by technology when they stopped making "gadgets" and never put buttons on anything. Now it's just mundane and perfect. Using PMP to stream videos to a PSP (and the PSP homebrew scene in general) was the last time I felt that wow.

[@BOYD1981]

@@Zarnubius for me it was when improvements became incremental rather than monumental. Don't get me wrong I still think technology is incredibly impressive with the things it can do and I'm so far behind with PC tech that once I do finally get a new system I'll be blown away, but I'm just not excited by it anymore.

[@jasonblalock4429]

@@Zarnubius I know, right? Every cell phone looks exactly the same. How am I supposed to get excited by a new purchase? I used to be the biggest gadget freak, but now replacing/upgrading my phone just feels like an annoying chore. I don't game on it, so specs really don't matter. And whatever CPU is inside, the UX stays about the same.

[@deanchur]

My last Wow! purchase was when I bought a Fiio K1 for about 40AUD; it sounded better and set up in seconds compared to the 350AUD Creative Audigy I had in the Athlon XP 2000 PC I had back in 2003.

[@shibolinemress8913]

I've never heard of Slingbox, even though I well remember the Palm era. Have you done a video just on it?

[@InfernosReaper]

I love how this stuff worked until 2022 and still works on local connections. Meanwhile, many things made within the past 5 years stop working entirely when the servers go out, even if it's something that should in no way need servers

[@novelezra]

I can totally imagine someone using this to catch up on their soaps at 5fps. I remember watching movies on my xbox360 through USB and being amazed so this thing would have blown my mind.

[@poonsamurai]

Not sure why it was working so poorly for him. Last time I used mine was to watch some of the World Cup 2010 games at work with my coworkers on the projector in our room, and the frame rate was definitely above 24 going through the internet, so the box itself was capable of much more than seen here.

[@vinnyvincedude]

[@RisingRevengeance]

I used to watch anime on my psp, if you do proper conversions you can have a pretty good experience on most things. I didn't have as much luck with my phones pre-android/ios, sometimes it worked... sorta. Even my last non-smartphone the beastly nokia n95 was kind of a potato.

Another example of why electronic right of ownership is important. All those soon to be bricked Sling box's could be reused etc

[@loganmacgyver2625]

They don't have much reason to keep servers going for so long

[@stheil]

@Logan MacGyver they don't have to as long as there's a way to use the devices for something else afterwards. Run your own server or whatever. But just making perfectly working devices useless is a waste. Edit: just saw the end of the video and local streaming still works so I'm fine with that.

[@lasarousi]

Not exactly the same but another example is Nvidia GeForce streaming being quietly shut down, you can no longer stream to Shield TV from your computer. Effectively bricking the device (for me). Probably going to push the next service+hardware to get that double spending from costumers as all corporations do.

[@lasskinn474]

@@lasarousi shield tv can't run moonlight or something?

[@lasarousi]

@@lasskinn474 it should since it's just Android, but I'm not sure, shield tv has been gutted for the past years, lots of games and applications exclusive to the shield have been made unavailable from the play store. I use moonlight in my android phone without any shield device so I'm not affected by it anymore, but it's scummy a corporation can decide that everything you paid up until that point to be "inadequate" and cage you out of the hardware you purchased. Homebrew will rescue The Shield hardware for sure.

[@Mac84]

Happy 2023! Thanks for the updated video. I’m so pumped that you got it working on the iPAQ! 🎉 I’m glad you were able to find the right files. My Palm TX seemed to hover around 12-15 FPS, so I was surprised to see your iPAQ suffer so much. But as you said, there are a lot of wonky factors into getting these silly things to work. Thankfully I had my Sling devices unplugged, that bricking business sounds terrible!

[@dotcom624]

Very cool! I had an iPAQ back in the early 2000’s. This was before iPod, so carrying music digitally wasn’t a thing, and managed to afford the Wi-Fi version, which was barely at the beginning of Wi-Fi being a thing. I setup an IceCast server on my home PC, and then streamed all my techno. Even setup a telnet control server for it so I could change music on the go. This would have been much cooler!! Thanks for the reminder and the cool overview!

[@PsRohrbaugh]

I used my WRT54G until maybe 4 years ago. Such a solid unit. Especially with DDWRT

[@common_c3nts]

I used mine until 2 years ago.

[@MrMega200]

I picked up an used one probably a decade ago or little longer. The WiFi gave up the ghost and having to constantly power cycle it to get it to work for a short while. Replaced that with an Asus one and used another as an WiFi to ethernet hub for my gaming desktop and other computers I was repairing. WiFi signal was always janky with these things. Going 20ft and through two walls resulted at best 3 bars with these things. Makes me so glad for modern good WiFi routers that can fire an signal down over 1000ft to the next door neighbors house and you'd still have good enough signal for watching video content.

Wow what a throwback! I had a sling box that I would stream to my Palm Treo so I could watch tv in school. Had that same lousy linksys router too! Im surprised the servers were up until 2022. Great product, especially for the time.

[@KaylaJoyGunn]

I immediately recognized what this was. Loved the pdas of the late 90s and early 2000s. To this day, nobody has come close to recreating the quality of the Targus quad fold keyboards that were so popular with Pdas of that Era.

[@UpLateGeek]

I think I commented on your last slingbox video that I set up a couple of early slingboxes in our company DMZ so our CEO could watch Australian TV while he was overseas. I don't think they used them for very long, but they left them sitting there for years. These days we're mostly using Teradek Cubes for remote access to local video sources. They're a lot more expensive, but are much more configurable and provide a much higher quality stream. However, the biggest advantage is that they had an HD-SDI input which could be connected directly to the studio vision router, so they could call up any channel they liked, or even get the transfers department to play out any recorded video or an edited news package that hasn't yet gone to air. They could watch the stream from anywhere using VLC, or using a dedicated decoder. For TVs in our head office, we have a multicast IPTV head-end system. It has built-in tuners for every OTA channel, plus a whole bunch of SDI and HDMI inputs for other sources such as feeds from the vision router, multiviewers, streaming video decoders, PCs running monitoring dashboards, commercial satellite decoders (definitely not consumer satellite TV boxes... 😉). And because it's connected to the local network, you can also view the IPTV streams in VLC, which is actually pretty easy to use since all the channels are in a huge playlist. I just realised, for some reason I'm the one they always seem to ask for when they need these kinds of streaming video systems set up. I guess that's what happens when you keep building systems that just work as advertised.

[@chadmasta5]

Man this brings back memories. I'm pretty sure my dad still has the old sling box, though he doesn't use it anymore. We actually used it for a long time. I remember he had it hooked up to the directv box in my parents' bedroom and I would watch TV using the app sideloaded on my Ouya in my room. (yes. Had one of those too. Still do.) Before that we had the locationfree player. Same concept but there was an app for psp of all things. My mom and sister each had a psp and I remember my dad setting up a 3g Hotspot when we were camping so my sister could watch a show she didn't want to miss. (we didn't have a dvr or anything to record it). It worked pretty well.

[@tubularmonkeymaniac]

Oh man you were living right on the edge of future tech. I would have dreamed about that setup.

[@aner_bda]

It's good to see that this still works (kinda) with the servers down. Sling was such an awesome service in the 2000s. I know so many people that would use them to get content from other countries by having friends set one up in their houses connected to a TV set with an IR blaster. Such a cool thing, that unfortunately got killed off by streaming services.

[@blautens]

Amazing! I used my Slingbox for something similar back in the day - and I had an iPaq 1910 (I think). I still have my Slingbox in the closet. My friend in Denmark used my Slingbox often (I'm in the US) and said the video was very reasonable. When I got my first Dish Hopper - you purchased an external Slingbox and connected it to the Hopper via USB, after that, Sling was built in. All in all, a good product.

[@meghananderic583]

I remember using that app on my iPaq back in the day. It was an awesome novelty.

My phone is probably magnitudes more powerful and it ends up sitting in my pocket or on my desk most of the time. My trusty old PDA went everywhere with me and was always in my hand and I was ALWAYS trying to find neat new ways to make use of it. Maybe it's just the nostalgia goggles talking.

@@s8wc3 Streaming internet radio over wifi to my PDA connected to a set of speakers felt like the future back in 2005.

[@theharbingerofconflation]

The bricking is real and you can downgrade thankfully, although that is as usual absolute voodoo. Here is how I made my Slingshot work from remote without any servers for shits and giggles: 1. Setup a raspberry PI of your choice to be an SSH bridge to your home network (I recommend just getting dyndns setup first, saves you a total headache) 2. Login from hotel into your home network 3. use local port forwarding to associate the remote slingshot stream with your localhost (much easier on Linux) 4. watch the software struggle with that fact that it sees the service on localhost for a bit 5.
