The Secret Origin Of The Slingbox – Revealed!

Posted on Friday, March 30, 2012 by MegaZone

Sling Media Logo I’m not sure where they dredged this up from, but AgencySpy posted this video that purports to tell the tale of the secret origin of the Slingbox. It was clearly made a while ago as Blake Krikorian hasn’t been CEO since he left in January, 2009. There is one glaring continuity error though, can you spot it?

Did you see it? Answer after the cut…

The Slingbox the aliens give to Blake is the Slingbox PRO, one of the second generation boxes. They should’ve used the original Slingbox Classic!

    Hubstrategy is the marketing group we used, it’s their YouTube account. The reason the Slingbox PRO was pictured is because this was intended to be an advertisement - no point advertising a prior generation product.

    Speaking of startup origins, someone should ask what OOMA stands for… ;)
