1)You will need a router, configuration is not hard at all, you only connect the cat 5 cable and the sling box will detect the network.
2)the sling box changes the channel on the video source using a infrared transmiter, basically the same as if someone was changing the channels live at home. if someone was watching the tv at the same time, the tv channel would change for them as well, the best way to avoid this is to use a dedicated video source for the sling box, like its own cable box, so it wont incovenience viewers at home.
