From the FAQ:

>Q: Why is Slingbox being discontinued?

>A: We’ve had to make room for new innovative products so that we can continue to serve our customers in the best way possible.

>Q: Will Slingbox be releasing any new products?

>A: No.

Certainly a refreshing combination of sarcasm and bitterness.

Slingbox is owned by Sling. Sling is owned by Echostar, which is also Dish Network. Dish Network is getting into the 5G game in a big way.

Since Echostar already uses the Sling technology in its set-top-boxes, I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see a 5G streaming service from Dish that is all Sling-based.

so who are they reselling? verizon, at&t or t-mobile?

They're getting the scraps from the T-Mobile/Sprint merger.

It got a hardy chuckle out of me, so, mission accomplished I suppose.
