2: Connecting the Slingbox

About the connections

Connecting the Slingbox is easy, and takes just a few minutes. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide before reading this
chapter. This chapter provides additional information and instructions.
You connect your television source (antenna, cable, satellite, DVR) to the Slingbox, and then connect the Slingbox
to your home network. From there, you can watch your living room TV programming from wherever you are by turn-
ing any laptop or Internet-connected computer into a window to your home. It's that simple.
Tip: You can also connect other A/V devices to the Slingbox, such as a DVD player,
VCR and CD player. See "Connecting other Audio/Video devices" on page 16.
