watching slingbox from Dial up: I have all the required equipment at home for using slingbox (HS Internet, TiVo, Router,etc.), my questions is would it work if the only cable connection I have is a dial up on the receiving end where I wanted to...

Slingbox won't work, or at least not very well, on a dial-up connection. This applies for both the sending and the receiving end of things.

Yes, if the STB/Slingbox connection is A/V cables, but not if you are relying on HDMI between the two. Some channels are blocked unless it is direct from the STB to the TV.

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!!!!!!

Here's how to think about it, you are both watching the same cable/satellite device, so the answer is yes. The same is true for Slingbox.For your second question, the answer is no. I believe the content you are watching must be running in a Chromecast enabled app (e.g. Google Chrome Browser). Since Chromecast did not exist when the Monsoon client software was written, and since they have been sued out of business here in the US. I do not believe we will ever see a Chromecast enabled player from Monsoon.

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

The only adapter I have connected is the Time Warner adapter, with the cable card. My TiVo box is hard wired w a Cat 5 to my Clear Wire Internet box. I'm able to access NetFlix, Pandora, Hulu & more w no problem and watch streaming TV.

The slingbox needs to be hooked up to the TV directly. However, if you have a smartphone with a video out display adapter you could watch slingbox on another TV by streaming through your smartphone (assuming you have purchased the Slinbox app for your phone). As you mentioned, any remote computer with Internet access will also work. Hope that helps.

I have just purchased 2 of these to try with the slingbox. If my wiring in the house is hooked up to work with these,my slingbox should work,or at least that's what netgear customer service told me. I will post an answer on here after I receive,and install these,and my slingbox.

I use mine with sling box all the time. Not sure what platform you want to use but, I would guess it should. Also it will depend on your connection.Jack

Only if you have a sling box player device like a Tablet, PC, or Mac feeding the signal to the TV . I don't know if player software exists for other players like Apple TV or Roku.

HI, the slingbox is a great time.... I used the Slingbox when I was in Paris.... I watch the first round of the NBA finals in a Broadway theater... Just during intermittion..... Is it like being a home?.... NO.... Is it a great substitute!... Yes.... The slingbox reception all start with your home.... the faster the internet the better reception on the other end... You can call Slingbox's tech support.... they are very helpful... lot of luck....

It depends. If, like most people, you have the SOLO connected to your cable or satellite service then nothing will change.In the unusual situation that you are using your Slingbox SOLO to transmit broadcast signals, however (using a coaxial cable coming off of an antenna), then you are correct in saying that the SOLO will no longer work. You can still get it to work, however, by buying a digital-to-analog converter box. The Slingbox should be able to control this in the same way that it controls cable or satellite set-top boxes.

slingbox 500 is amazing & the best way to watch your tv.WDTV is work on TV but I prefer to use sony nsz-gs7 is better with google tv for full entertainment .

Definitely a network cable, the transformer/cable of course, and two 3 conductor RCA cables (maybe only one? not sure). Has no buttons, no settings. Plug it in and it just plain works. Doesn't need to be "between" cable box and TV. My TV is still fed directly via cable box's HDMI, so I only needed 1 set of RCA cables to run from cable box to Slingbox. Best gadget I've bought in years.

I don't see why it would require a router; a crossover cable to your computer's network port should work with the SlingPlayer software. Do a search on SlingCommunity.com for "crossover" or "ICS" (internet connection sharing).Keep in mind, though, that the SlingBox is not a tuner on it's own. It will only display what your TV/Cable box is outputting.

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.

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.
