Appletv-Full-Tmb-Gif I love my SlingBox. Withe ability to travel freely through the space-time vortex of television, my cable box no longer rules me. Still, SlingMedia’s SlingPlayer client for Mac hasn’t yet been up to the standards I would like. That is, until now.

Today, SlingMedia unveiled SlingPlayer 1.0 for Mac. SlingPlayer 1.0 includes a lot of features that many Mac users have been waiting for for a while now, including a full Aqua interface following Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (which looks gorgeous, and has some nice additions including a transparent background when no Slingbox is connected, and an overall much more Mac-like appearance), integrated support for the Apple Remote (for controlling the Apple TV, an iPod with Apple’s Universal Dock, the iPod Hi-Fi, or a Mac with Front Row and an IR port), and some extra bug fixes and features (including support for the TiVo Series3).

The Slingbox 1.0 update looks really great and definitely shows SlingMedia’s Mac support with full colors.
