Slingbox AV
Watch Digital Cable or Shows Recorded on TiVo on a PC or Laptop From Anywhere in the World
Connect DVR, cable or satellite receiver to LAN for remote viewing on any Internet-connected PC
Install software on any number of PCs for remote viewing and control wherever you are
Easy setup takes just a few minutes
Turn any PC or laptop into a television set to watch local or recorded programming, even if your laptop's with you on a business trip on the other side of the world. The Slingbox connects to your digital cable or satellite receiver set-top box and distributes the A/V signal to your LAN (wired or wireless router sold separately). You can even watch the shows you recorded on your TiVo: The Slingbox will connect your DVR, cable or DIRECTV to your LAN for remote viewing on a browser.
Easy Setup
Setting up the Slingbox AV is simple. Connect the A/V source to the Slingbox and the Slingbox to the Internet, and then plug the IR emitter into the Slingbox and the source for remote control. Plug in the power adapter and load the SlingPlayer software on your PC. A setup wizard walks you through the setup process, automatically configuring the Slingbox for the device it's connected to. If you don't have an Ethernet outlet right next to your television, you can add a pair of SlingLink Internet Adapters to send the signal through your electrical wires to location a more convenient to your router.
Turn Your Laptop Into a TV
Connect your laptop to your local network, and you'll be able to access your DVR or cable box for local viewing as well as local control. Watch a DVD with headphones connected to your laptop for late-night entertainment as your spouse sleeps.
Unlimited PC Software Installation
Install the SlingPlayer software on any number of PCs to watch and control your connected device on your computer. The Slingbox works seamlessly with your existing home theater setup and PC technologies.
Watch Local Shows When You're Out of Town
Add the included software to the laptop you take along on business trips, and you'll be able to access local programming when you're out of town. Turn your hotel room into your living room: By keeping up with your shows and local teams, you'll not only feel more connected to home, you'll be able to spend more quality time with your family when you get home rather than heading straight for the TiVo.
All-Access Pass at No Extra Charge
The Slingbox AV not only allows you to watch your home television virtually anywhere, but it also allows you to watch any cable subscriptions, special programming, or sports packages you may have — at no extra cost. If it's on your home TV, it's on your computer and phone, with no monthly fees.
Retain Full Control of Connected Device
With the Slingbox AV you have just as much control over your special programming and component devices (such as TiVo and On Demand) as you do at home. You have the ability to fast-forward, rewind, pause, and everything else under the sun.
Additional Slingbox Options Available
If you simply want to watch and control a basic analog cable box remotely over your PC, you can save by purchasing the Slingbox Tuner. The Slingbox Pro is also available: This flexible, top-of-the-line unit is designed for transmitting video from HD components over the Web, and up to four A/V sources can be connected at once.
