Sling Media today announced a public beta program for its new version of SlingPlayer(TM) Mobile for devices based on the Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition operating system.

If you have a network-enabled mobile phone or handheld computer (PDA) powered by Windows Mobile you can watch and control your home TV, wherever you are in the world, using 3G cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.

Any program that you can watch on your sofa back home, you can now watch via your Windows Mobile-based device. In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile users can also control their home digital video recorder (DVR) to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV, or even queue new recordings while on the road.

To use SlingPlayer Mobile you first need to install a Slingbox at home which redirects, or "placeshifts," a single live TV stream from a cable box, satellite receiver, or DVR to the viewer's PC / Pocket PC / Smartphone located anywhere in the home or anywhere in the world, via the Internet.
