Included Cables - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

You connect your television source (antenna, cable, satellite, DVR) to Slingbox, and then connect Slingbox to your home network (either wired or
wirelessly). From there, you can watch your living room TV programming from wherever you are by turning any laptop or Internet-connected computer
into a window to your home. It's that simple. You can also connect other A/V devices to Slingbox, such as a DVD player, a VCR, or a CD player. See
"Connecting Other Audio/Video Devices" on page 16.
