Slingbox will no longer function as of November 9, 2022. Sling Media, a subsidiary of DISH, announced that they were closing shop on November 9, 2020. At that time, they said that all Slingbox servers will be permanently taken offline 24 months after the discontinued announcement date (which is, again, November 9, 2020). When November arrives in 2022, ALL Slingbox devices and services “will become inoperable.”

Per the announcement, Sling said “most Slingbox models will continue to work normally, but the number of supported devices for viewing will steadily decrease as versions of the SlingPlayer apps become outdated and/or lose compatibility.” That goes for every single Sling device you’ve ever owned or (barring madness) will ever own in the future.

Slingbox will not be shipping any product from this point forward. Per the release this week, “most authorized resellers have been out of stock for a couple years.”
If you’re using any sort of Sling product right now, be it hardware or software, we’d recommend you stop as soon as possible.
