Did not try to connected to the satelite box yet.You need to know some stuff about computers and internet to connect this. I little tedious to install with my setting. Connected directly to the antena from the roof so clarity of some channels not too good.
There are enough people here with obvious defects that manufacturer should have offered to fix, but that did not happen. A fun toy that was not ready for release. Would not buy this or its newer versions. Worked great at first, but later I could only view the channel that was last on the cable box. Kind of useless at that point.
However, this last time, it completely broke everything. Doing so makes you get new features - usually. Their software prompts you to update occasionally.
It was a great device for a while. It worked remotely on both my PC and my phone. Hello All,Here's my opinion on the slingbox pro.
So, that was all good.Here's the bad. After they do an update that breaks your connectivity, they want $29 to fix it.That has me smokin mad right now. It worked.
The video was OK.
So far this has been a total waste of money. I'm relatively tech savvy and have never got this thing to work. The tech support was not helpful at all.
Both access methods work well and allow me access to all video/audio inputs within each of the slingboxes (can have up to 4 video inputs to each slingbox, which is very flexible). I access via PC or via my PDA (Windows Mobile 6). The NJ box has similar setup and works flawlessly.
I also have one in my NJ home. Video interference occurs on one audio channel of the cable box input, assumably due to an empty video input from the video, or possibly from the audio port used by the surveillance sequencer. I set it up in my Florida home.
Can work through that problem with laptop/PDA controls which allow selection of right/left/both audio channel output. Need to have decent PC technical knowledge to get it all working right, but worth it once set up. In FL, one port has 2 video surveillance cameras sequenced every 5 seconds into one port.
The other port has the cable box.
