Can someone else watch the home television while I am watching it from a Slingbox? Is it possible for someone to watch the home television while I am watching from the Slingbox?

I don't think that is possible because you need to download and watch through an APP, so unless your TV has the ability to download APPs, this isn't going to work for you. We watch TV on our iPad or iPhone when not near our home using a wireless Internet connection through an APP we have downloaded to our tablets and phones.

Not that I know of maybe you have a friend with a sling box (cable or sat also needed on there end) I have live tv on my pc with one. That's the only way to get live tv with Internet. Some of thouse station will have some stuff on there sites. But that way kinda sucks. Hope this helps

yes, I had a slingbox solo and this uses a standard ethernet connection. You should be fine and speeds should be fine as well.

The slingbox rebroadcast the video output of another device such as a OTA cable box, cable company box, dvd, VCR. Another option you may be interested in the from "simple.tv". The simple.tv unit take an antenna input and allows you to record tv as when as watch Live TV on a computer by its website, mobile by an application, or on Roku boxes. I have Roku's, slingboxes, simple.tv, antenna, cable, Netflix, Hulu plus, and Amazon.

Yes, you do have to purchase the app for your tablet and phone in order to watch your home tv on them. It's worth it though. The Sling Box is great! I watch sports, tv shows, dvr recordings, etc when I'm at the gym and out of town. I know it's an expensive app, but the app and sling box are great.

It'll support the TV it is connected to and 1 other device at a single time. Unfortunately if you are looking, for example, to watch on your computer at the airport while your wife is on her iPhone at the Dr's office, that will not work. One device can stream from the account/ slingbox at a time.

I've got the exact same question. I'd like to be able to Sling from my home in Va. to my overseas home in NZ, but I need to know if my family will be able to watch TV at the same time. Anyone know?

No. The signal that is going to the TV is the only signal that the Slingbox gets. It is as if the Slingbox was just a part of the cable connected to the TV, so the Slingbox only sees what the TV sees. The only difference is that the TV can be off or on. However if the Slingbox is connected to its own cable box it will see the signal that that cable box is sending.

I've never had slingbox but I can tell you that this doesn't allow you to watch live tv from anywhere. You can either download what you've recorded to DVr while connected to the same network as your DVr box or you can set up the genie go through a complicated process that allows you to access your recorded shows from anywhere. I'll admit though that I've tried to see mine up to allow access from anywhere and I've never gotten it to work and I am pretty computer literate.

The Belkin @TV allows you to watch your home TV channels (including DVR and "on demand") on your computer or iPad. You can hook up a cable from your computer to a TV and watch on the TV screen. You change the input on your TV (the same as when you watch a DVD) in order to view the screen from your computer. I chose Belkin over Slingbox because I had read some horror stories about customer service at Slingbox. I did have a problem with the @TV, but the Belkin folks were fantastic! They replaced the unit, and now it works great!

It now has the ability to stream outside your home network but only iOS devices are supported. It also has heavy restrictions on remote streaming due to copyright restrictions. For example, if you plan to stream your hometown baseball games while travelling on the road, it will not let you. I ended up putting a Slingbox 350 in between the Roamio Plus and the TV, using component connections. The Web Slingplayer supports the Roamio Plus remote, so I could watch recorded baseball games remotely while travelling on the road.

You pay for the content (assuming you pay for cable access) and transport (your broadband connection). There is no violation. But you're right, the access companies are miffed about SlingMedia seeming use the transport for free....they would prefer to do it but haven't figured out the technology to strem directly to multiple devices.

If I understand your question right, only one user can access the account at a time. If a second person logs in and try's to access the slingbox, you will get "another authorized user is accessing the slingbox, do you want to disconnect that user" message. So, only one user can be logged in at a time. The signal you receive via slingbox could be split and have two tv's at the SAME location view the SAME channel

slingbox did not work with ANYTHING. When I tried to resolve the problem I was told that I needed to disable my virus protection for product to work. Are they crazy!!!!!!

I don't think it will stream live TV, only movies, you have to have some provider of live tv on the other end with a sling box connected to cable or satellite.
