Sling's Trio of New TV Placeshifting Devices Offers Lots of Streaming Goodness [Telev

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...x_slingces.jpgSling just unveiled a trio of new products, which include a monitor that connects to local Slingboxes over wi-fi, a receiver that catches TV streams over wi-fi, and a sling box that plugs into your set-top box via USB. Swoon.
What's strange about the three products is that it appears none of them will be available via retail channels. Instead, they'll all be provided from cable and satellite providers.

The 15.6-inch, 720p display lets you control and manage your primary DVR. Dish Network says they plan on being the first to offer the Sling monitor.

Into According to Sling, they're making the Slingbox 700u available for Cable providers to distribute, allowing you to sling your television anywhere with a simple USB connection. Sling calls it their smallest Slingbox available, and again, Dish Network plans on offering it first.

Because none of these will be offered via retail channels, pricing and availability aren't available. And let's keep our fingers crossed on Dish delivering the first two products to consumers. [Sling via Engadget]
