how many channels does the hp slingbox receive?
Question by anna: 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.

The answer is that you can watch the slingbox on ONE pc at a time. You can load the software on any number of boxes. So you could have it on your desktop at home, your laptop, and your desktop at work; however only one of those devices at a time can use it.
By the way I am at my office now and watching my slingbox. The quality isn't tv quality, but for streaming over the net it works well, and with no monthly charge it is a good deal.

You connect your television source (antenna, cable, satellite, even through a DVR) to the Slingbox, then connect the Slingbox to your home network and watch your living room TV programming from wherever you are by turning any laptop or Internet device into a personal television. It's that simple.
Audio and Video Connections
Connecting Your Television Source
If You Have a Cable Box, Satellite Box or DVR
Connect a supplied A/V cable from the unused OUTPUTS on your cable box, satellite box, or DVR (whichever is connected directly to your TV) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN plug on the Slingbox. If your cable box, satellite box, or DVR does not have available outputs to connect directly to the Slingbox, complete the optional connection shown in step so your TV receives the television signal.
TIP: If your cable box, satellite box or DVR has S-VIDEO OUT, use the supplied S-VIDEO cable instead of the yellow video cable from this device to the Slingbox. You still need to connect the red and white audio cables.
