While the new model carries the Slingbox Pro name, it doesn't include an HDMI port, making it a cut below the existing version. But it does support S-video, coaxial, and RCA inputs and outputs as well as an ethernet jack. TG Daily speculates that this feature set could make the new box a replacement for the Slingbox A/V.
No word on pricing or availability, and a Slingbox rep would neither confirm nor deny this device's existence, other than to say that the company continues to develop new products. But thanks to the FCC, we do have a whole slew of pictures after the jump.

Oh, and did we mention that the product manual is available from the FCC's site as well? But why struggle to navigate the FCC's web pages when you can just read through the manual here.

Note that the current Slingbox Pro does NOT have an HDMI port. You couldn't Sling from HDMI - due to HDCP.
It has a port which resembles an HDMI port physically, but it is the connector for the HD Connect cable. The HD Connect add-on has a set of component video and stereo audio connectors on it. This new box has component video input on the back.
The big difference is that it only has one set of audio input - and the RF. So it is more like a cross between the A/V and the Pro. The A/V has RF as well as composite video and S-Video. This box simply adds component video.
Actually, the BIG difference is that this has a built-in cable modem!
