First off, you do not even have to connect the slingbox to the TV. The Slingbox Pro HD has a built in tuner where you can just connect the slingbox to a coaxial cable jack. So if there is a coaxial cable TV jack near your router, it's best to place it there. On the flip side, you will only get HD channels that are local. Where I live, CBS is channel 4, so 4-1 will be the HD channel. In order to get cable channels in HD, you will need to connect it to your digital cable or satellite box. You can also use the splitter that it comes with to connect it to both the cable/satellite box and directly to the wall jack so that when you want to watch a premium channel you can do so, but you'll have to watch the same channel as the local TV viewer is watching. When you want to watch a regular cable channel from 0-99, you can do so using the Tuner part. And you can get HD using the tuner if you just want local channels like watching football on weekends or golf on the weekends.
If you are not going to be able to cable your slingbox directly to your router, you can just buy this; http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Actiontec+-+MegaPlug+Powerline+Ethernet+Adapter+(2-Pack)/8913152.p?skuId=8913152&id=1213399954676 This is much simpler than setting up wireless.

The tuner is for tuning antenna or cable directly. Since you have a box, the A/V will do.

That wasn't the way Slingbox was designed...you have to change your parent's TV channels to get them on your laptop....
Of course you could buy another Cable or Satellite box and dedicate it to your Slingbox....You don't even need a TV set on that box, just your laptop.
