How do I use Slingbox and Dish together w/o interfering w those watching TV on the primary TV?
Question by Brown Chicken Brown Cow: How do I use Slingbox and Dish together w/o interfering w those watching TV on the primary TV?
Ok..I have dish network with dvr etc. It is the HD style with ONE box that operates in dual mode that allows me to watch a separate tv in one room and someone else to watch in the living room.
I used to not have that and connected my slingbox to the the 2nd tv near the computer and all was good.
Now with the upgraded HD/DVR dual box combo, I am not sure what to do.
I know that I need a turbo connection so that I can connect the slingbox to the dish service, but the primary question is...once I do that can I control the 2nd tv and leave the primary tv free for others to watch while I am away?
Any help is appreciated.
