Connecting Your Slingbox; Before You Connect Any Cables-Get A Flashlight; Next, Connect The Cables - Sling Media SlingPlayer User Manual

After you've used the Setup Assistant to set up your Slingbox, you can watch your TV
programming on any supported Mac or PC computer, or on any supported mobile
device at any time over a high-speed Internet connection. Only one computer or
mobile device at a time can view the Slingbox, though.

Connecting your Slingbox

Before you connect any cables—get a flashlight
The areas in back of your TV and router probably have poor lighting. A flashlight will
help you see behind them, so that you can connect the cables correctly.

Next, connect the cables

Now you connect your Slingbox to your home network and to your TV, DVR (such as a
TiVo® or ReplayTV® DVR), or a DVD player, or other video device. Think about what
you watch most often or what you'd like to watch the most and connect that particular
device.
This diagram gives a very basic overview of how your Slingbox and video device should
be connected to your home network (Of course, you may have additional computers,
more than one video device, or multiple Slingboxes). Your Slingbox comes with a
printed Quick Start Guide that has more detail.
