SlingBox has announced that the SlingPlayer for connected devices beta will soon be coming to Google TV. that means users with a SlingBox Solo or Pro-HD will soon be able to use Google TV to watch programming from their SlingBox on any Google TV with an Internet connection, in addition to using the mobile version of SlingPlayer on their smartphones.
This is a great way to get more content on Google TV, which has seen content providers block access until they figure out how to license for it. Word is, the SlingPlayer for connected devices is more of a stand alone WebApp than a native Android application, and will be working it's way to other devices eventually. This also means you won't have to wait for Google to get Honeycomb and the Android Market onto your Google TV unit to try it out. If you want to try to get in on the action, hit the source link to sign up for the beta. We have a video demo of the app in action after the break.
