I just bought a Slingbox Pro HD on eBay and I have some questions.?
Question by Brian: I just bought a Slingbox Pro HD on eBay and I have some questions.?
Ok so me and my dad got a slingbox online and we got an HDMI Cable for our Macbook Pro. We want to be able to send the slingbox thing onto the slingplayer on the mac and them plug it into our tv. It hasn't come in the mail yet and I was wondering about the tv channels, if I want to watch The Simpsons on Slingplayer, can my mom still watch Dancing With The Stars? If not, can I watch recorded stuff while someone else watches live tv? If anyone knows the answers, try not to get too technical about it, I'm not amazing at the whole terminology and what not.

Yes the slingbox PRO-HD has a built in tuner. You will be able to watch whatever you want while your mom is watching TV without any interruptions.

I recently bought a SlingBox, is it easy to install?
Question by rio r: I recently bought a SlingBox, is it easy to install?
I bought the AV version. It seems easy to install but came to the third or fourth step. Do I need to plug into the phone jack?
Also, can install the software to other laptops I have so it can access my home tv?

As a fellow Slingbox owner, I can tell you its pretty simple to set up for the most part. The hardest part is configuring it for remote viewing, but even that can be pretty easy depending on the router you have.
You don't tie the Slingbox to your phone line. It will plug into whatever source you want to sling, and into your home network router.
SlingPlayer (the application that lets you connect to the Slingbox) can be installed on as many laptop or desktop PCs you want, totally free of charge. If you want to Sling to a Windows based or Palm OS Mobile phone, the software is relatively inexpensive.
There's a great web community just for Slingbox owners. I've gotten lots of help there in the past, and the folks there are really good about answering questions. They even have a lot of help info that will help you get your Slingbox running. The site is http://www.slingcommunity.com
Sometimes they run contests to give out free copies of the mobile software, shirts, and other Sling gear. I've haven't won anything yet, but I'm always keeping my fingers crossed.

I dont see the slingplayer in the App Market. How can I get slingbox on the Droid X. I previously had it on my original Droid and it worked beautifully on that phone but I need it on the Droid X.
