Slingbox: A company that lied to its customers, compromised their privacy, and trashed its own products

Slingbox: A company that lied to its customers, compromised their privacy, and trashed its own products
Slingbox used to be a great product — the mobile apps needed a lot of work, but it provided a useful service. However, the company has done a complete 180 and loaded the desktop software with ads like a piece of garbage. The company decided to compromise the experience and its customer privacy by loading your computer with what has now effectively become adware. It's a silly move, and I can't trust the company any more.You should not trust any company who is willing to sell you on a promise and then turn around and lie about it, and Slingbox has become this company.
