Sling Media teased its SlingPlayer for Connected Devices with a Google TV demo last month , but we had of venture to move hands-on with the television streaming service on a Boxee Box at tonight’s gdgt event in NYC. The player launched without issue at the demo system we saw, and the interface should feel familiar if you’ve used any of the SlingPlayer mobile apps. Sling says the appliance will appear inside the list of Boxee apps and within the Spotlight on Google TV when it hits public beta in the next month, otherwise you can join up to be notified on Sling’s website. Post-beta pricing and availability details haven’t been released, but you will get your TV fix totally free all through the beta period. Jump past the break for a fast peek in our hands-on video.
