1: Introducing the Slingbox™

Welcome

You're being followed...by your television!
Your new Slingbox makes your television accessible from anywhere. It sends your living room television to
wherever you choose to watch. We call it "place-shifting." You can call it your TV...anywhere.
And, if you choose to set up remote viewing, following your favorite baseball team from your office cubicle
has never been easier—not that we'd encourage that. However, we're working on a "boss" button.
Setup is easy...ignoring your TV is difficult
The Slingbox doesn't replace your entertainment system...it embraces it. Simply connect your television
source (antenna, cable, satellite, digital video recorder) or other video source to the Slingbox, and then
connect the Slingbox to your home network (router/available Ethernet jack). Install the Slingbox software on
your computer and watch your programs from anywhere. Think of it as the TV remote with ultimate reach.

It's not magic, but it's close

The Slingbox sends your video over your home network to your router, which then gives you access from
wherever you are: in the kitchen or anywhere in the world with a high-speed Internet connection. And, if you
have a digital video recorder (DVR), you can watch your recorded programs and use the familiar features,
such as pause, instant replay, and fast forward...even schedule recordings. If your DVR can do it, your
Slingbox can view it.
All you need to do to watch your Slingbox from afar is to use a computer loaded with SlingPlayer application.
Start it up and connect to your Slingbox at home. You'll be watching your TV in no time.
