Will Slingbox allow you to remotely access Satellite TV on a TV at another location?
Question by Mark E: Will Slingbox allow you to remotely access Satellite TV on a TV at another location?
I have a vacation home where I currently pay almost 0 for cable per month. I am looking for a way to use my Directv from my home remotely at my vacation condo. What device will do this. I am not interested in TV-to-PC applications. I would like it to work at or near HD quality. Any ideas?

Yes, Slingbox will do what you are looking for, and they have an HD version. You can use HDMI or component video connections between your satellite receiver and your Slingbox. You must have a decent Internet connection at your vacation home and it's helpful to have a couple meg upload speed at home. Upload is slower than download from most ISPs in case you didn't know. At your vacation home, you will have to figure a way to connect a computer to your television because the signal from Sling comes directly to a computer.
