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...

But it's how I did it.
