How do I use my Slingbox App (32 bit) on my MacBook Air Mojave OS after the next update in September?
You can continue using your 32bit apps if you stay on Mojave or any older OS, it is only in the new OS Catalina which will be out soon that 32bit apps will no longer work. You are under no obligation to upgrade if you do not want to. If you have 32bit apps that you know won't be updated to 64bit but need to keep on using them and you also feel you would like Catalina you can partition your HD or SSD in two and have Mojave on one and install Catalina on the other. You can then use System Preferences> Startup Disk to boot between the two.

I'm trying to determine if my slingbox will work on my MAC if I upgrade to Catalina. I understand the desktop app is 32 bit and apparently will not be upgraded. Does this mean that slingbox will not be available on Macs with Catalina?
Yes, that's what it means.
I've upgraded to Catalina, and it appears that SlingPlayer for Web will not open through the Safari browser after the upgrade. Is anyone else having this issue? Anyone have a work around?
The SlingBox website claims that SlingPlayer for Web will work within the 64-bit Chrome browser on Mac, but I'm skeptical, given that the SlingPlayer for Web application itself seems to operate in 32-bit mode and therefore will not open in Catalina.
I upgraded. Sling for web won't work in ANY browser now. Great. Also, before the update it was cutting out every 15 minutes.
So there is no way to use the browser? I noticed the Slingbox app on my mac had a circle with a line through it.
Why doesn't it work any more? Can somebody put in non-tech terms? i thought it was pushing out in 64 bit anyways?
What about the web "app"? is this not working because or java or 32 vs 64 bit?
I'm not sure why the web app doesn't work. I assumed the web app didn't work because it was a 32-bit app. It showed in the Finder with a slashed circle.
32 bit. Nothing 32 bit will run on the new IOS
Why on the reddit post are they saying to use Chrome? So this isn't a Java thing?
Using the Slingbox 32 Bit App after the next update on MacBook Air Mojave OS after it is no longer allowed:
