PROS

- IR blasters, which are used to change the channel on the TV, are built into the M1, eliminating the need for extra wires.
- The M1 is compact and affordable.
CONS
- While Slingbox offers a variety of mobile apps, different OS versions and versions for mobile devices must be purchased separately.
