新华网9月18日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道，谷歌电视棒新推出了一款适用于Slingbox机顶盒的应用程序，这样一来，你的电视内容尽在“掌中”。
你有没有想过，把电视“整个”搬到朋友家，所有的频道和硬盘录像节目都“完好无损”？适用于谷歌电视棒的Slingbox应用程序就能实现上述功能。你只需在自家的家庭影院系统连上一个Slingbox机顶盒,再加上适用于苹果或安卓系统的SlingPlayer，整个家庭影院就能“陪你走天涯”了。除了上述方法之外，你还有一种选择，花35美元购买一个谷歌电视棒的HDMI接收器，将你的所有电视内容传输过去。
如果你的朋友已经有这个接收器，那就再好不过了，就跟登陆他们家的Wi-Fi网络一样简单。小编认为，还是会有很多人愿意随身携带一个谷歌电视棒，这样一来，无论你行至何处，遇到大屏幕电视，就可以随心接入收看节目了。这个接收器还是非常便携的。
从技术手段上说，使用AirPlay就能将Slingbox机顶盒的电视内容通过一部苹果iPhone手机传至苹果电视上，或者从SlingPlayer应用程序传输到很多Roku设备上，比如50美元一只的流媒体电视棒（Streaming Stick）。但相比较起来，谷歌电视棒传输电视内容还是非常方便且便宜的，对了，别忘了，最近谷歌电视棒还新增了流媒体视频平台Twitch功能哦。

Chromecast's New Slingbox App Puts Your Entire TV Lineup in Your Pocket
What if you could bring your entire TV to a friend's house, all your channels and DVR programs intact? That's more or less what the Slingbox app for Chromecast lets you do today. With a Slingbox hooked up to your home theater plus the SlingPlayer app for iOS and Android devices you could already take your content on the go, but now you can also beam that content to any TV connected to Google's $35 Chromecast HDMI dongle.
If your friends already have one, it'll be as easy as logging onto their home Wi-Fi network to start the show, but I bet some of you will simply carry a Chromecast with you so that you can comfortably kick back in front of any big screen TV you encounter. That dongle is pretty pocketable, after all. Technically, you could already beam Slingbox content from an iPhone to an Apple TV using AirPlay, or from the SlingPlayer app to a number of recent Roku devices including the $50Streaming Stick. But the Chromecast is an unprecedentedly cheap and easy way to do it. Plus, did you know Chromecast just added Twitch? [Sling Blog via Digital Trends]
