Curiosity teardown: SlingBox
Anyone remember the Slingbox?
It was a video streaming box that would let you stream any video source in your house to another location on the internet . It was intended to let you watch your hometown TV while you were travelling.
I say "was" because it relied on a cloud server that the manufacturer shut down, bricking the boxes that people had bought.
Anyway, I found this one on the curb, so let's tear it down and see what's inside.
There was a community project to resurrect these, but it needed some security credentials to be pulled from the Sling server, which is no longer online...

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.
