how many channels does the hp slingbox receive?
i want to buy a slingbox from hp, to watch tv on my laptop. when i go to the FAQ on the website it says that you need to hook up the slingbox to your television in order for it to work. if my slingbox is connected to my tv, then are the channels i receive on my laptop limited to the amount of channels i get on my tv?
example: i get up to 30 channels on my tv. once i connect the slingbox to my televison will my slingbox only get 30 channels as well, or will it get more, less, ect?
also, will my slingbox be able to receive internet channels as well, or only cable channels?
also, do i need to connect the hp slingbox to both my tv AND laptop, or is it just one or the other?

HP is not the industry shaking source of the Slingbox, Sling Media is, Hp just appears to have bought the bragging rights from them.
The slingbox appears only to be an interface device, (a good one) limited only by the channels provided by your entertainment service.
Why not re-familiarize yourself with the product through the inventor, below.
