what does it do exactly?

You connect your Cable box (no matter what cable/telecom provider), or Tivo, etc. to the sling box. Then you connect your sling box to your home router. You then run thru the setup of the slingbox software from a PC connected to the same home network..and voila! You can now take your laptop anywhere in the world and watch your channels as they appear on your cable system on your laptop..as long as you are connected to the internet. For an additional cost (~$20) you can also pay for the app and watch your TV on any iOS, or Android devices as well. There are ways to get the apps w/o paying, but that's illegal :) The HD quality is really good as I've been watching Knicks playoff games streaming over a 4G connection.

It allows you to watch whatever you would watch on your cable box at your TV remotely over the internet. For example, when I am traveling, I can still watch the shows I have DVRed on my home cable box and control it as if I am sitting in front of it with my remote.

The slingbox gives you control of your own TV wherever you are. You can directly watch you own TV, change channels, set the DRV... anything you can do from home.. with a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop

It mostly stays on the same channel. At times, if I'm trying to change to channel 209 for example, it would only ready one of the numbers and change to channel 2 or 9 instead. After multiple times trying, it usually works. But there are times where the effort is not really worth it.

Streams audio/video from any source in your home to your computer anywhere in the world. Note that it doesn't work with AT&T; UVerse at this time. AT&T; has their router locking out anything that AT&T; doesn't own.

it converts a cable/satellite box signal to MP$ and then broadcasts it to you via internet to a cell phone,tablet, or laptop. You can remotely watch what ever is on your home tv anywhere you have one of these devices

It can do anything that a wall outlet can do. It's similar to a power bar, but it manages the voltage a lot closer, reducing or eliminating spikes in voltage and even compensating for lack of voltage. It can be used to plug in anything, but is probably best served for plugging in more sensitive devices...music equipment, hard drives, etc.

It measures actual voltage and current in milliamps. It updates about the times a second. It is neat to figure out what chargers and cables work best for each device. Worth it. The other two brands available on amazon look like crap. I couldn't find this in the US. Had to buy from Japan.

It does do both functions. Unfortunately it does them both at a sub standard level.

I'm not sure what your question is. Mine did not do this so maybe you got a defective one; sorry.

As far as I can tell it doesn't do anything at all. I was going to throw mine out last night but thought I'd research it more. I've seen reviews that support my belief that it is a scam

I'm sorry I can't give you the answer you are looking for. I haven't figured this thing out yet, but I was told that you can pretty much do anything with it.

Sorry, can't answer, I had it put in and haven't looked at it since, but I can tell you it works fantastically.

It's just a guide. If you check out some U Tube videos you can see how it works.

I have no idea. I just know I use it effectively and have recommended it to others.

I assume it does, but I can't think of when I tried that. I really don't know.

I have no clue what that is? Could you explain what thAt is and I can try to answer for you!

I dont know. Its a really great product, works precisely as it advertises, is very useful and certainly deserves more buzz.

I don't know exactly how it works, but it works very well and doesn't change the appearance at all. L. Bray

I don't know what you mean. I bought this because it works for me for what its sole purpose is.

We purchased this a few months ago - and as far as I can tell - it serves no function at all. Not really sure what it is for :)

sorry, don't know but it didn't work as well as I wanted it to or thought it should after all.
