Sling Media announced that the Slingbox is now available for purchase across the United Kingdom a while back but in case our British friends haven’t been to their local PC World, we felt the need to alert them. The Slingbox is available in the UK for GBP 179.99 including VAT.

The European version of the Slingbox is tailored for the UK market and features an integrated PAL analog/digital tuner with DVB-T support, giving customers access to Freeview programming from their aerial streamed to a laptop or desktop computer. In addition, Slingbox controls a wide range of Freeview, digital cable and satellite set top boxes that are available in the UK market including those offered by Sky, Homechoice, NTL and Telewest.

Concurrently, Sling Media is releasing a new version of the SlingPlayer PC software in conjunction with the Slingbox hardware. SlingPlayer PC version 1.1 is now available to UK customers and supports 16:9 widescreen video, enhanced favorite channels organization features and the ability to customize the look and feel of the software with a range of pre-installed or user-created skins.
