| Everything you ever wanted to know about creating a Sling Account
Creating a Sling Account is easy and free.
A Sling Account stores your Slingbox ID and SlingPlayer settings (like passwords and Favorites). It keeps all of this in one place. Once you create a Sling Account, you can instantly access all of this information from any of the following:
- SlingPlayer 2.0 or above for Windows
- SlingPlayer for Mac
- Watch on Slingbox.com
- Some versions of SlingPlayer Mobile
- SlingCatcher
Once you have a Sling Account, just log on with it in SlingPlayer or SlingPlayer Mobile, and these settings are automatically downloaded to your computer or SlingCatcher, or to a mobile device that supports Sling Accounts.
What should I do to take advantage of this?
First, you need to create a Sling Account if you don’t already have one. Then, the next time you use Watch on Slingbox.com, SlingPlayer, SlingPlayer Mobile or your SlingCatcher, just log in. After you've logged in the first time, the product will "remember" your Sling Account.
Creating a Sling Account:
- On your computer, go to the Sling Accounts page. Use the Sling Accounts link on the right side of this page.
- Follow the onscreen instructions. You’ll need to have your Slingbox ID handy. If you’re not sure where to find your Slingbox ID, click on the title of the related article at the bottom of this page.
- When you’ve entered all of the information, click Save and you’re done!
