Once you know where the infrared sensor is, you can position the IR Blaster properly.
The IR Blaster can be positioned above or below your device or on either side. It just
has to be close to wherever the infrared sensor is located.

How does it all work?

Slingbox translates your television signal (or other audio/video) and makes it available
through your home network. When you're at home, you can watch on any supported
computer on your home network. When you're away from home, you can watch on
any supported device hooked up to a high-speed Internet connection.

How does it work when I watch at home?

Slingbox makes your television signal (or other audio/video) available through your
home network, so you can watch your TV content in another room, on another floor,
even in your backyard—anywhere your home network works with your computer. If
you have a DVD player, you can watch your DVD movies whenever it's convenient to
you. If you have another audio/video device, such as a VCR or a DVR (Digital Video
Recorder), you can watch your recorded programs and use all their familiar features,
such as pause, instant replay, fast forward, and more. You can even schedule new
recordings! SlingPlayer also can show you a working onscreen image of your
audio/video device's remote control to make it all easy and simple.

How does it work when I do remote viewing?

If you set up your router and Slingbox for remote viewing, you can venture outside of
your home network's range. When you do remote viewing, Slingbox sends your
television signal (or other audio/video), through your home network, and then only to
you via the Internet. You can have access to your TV from almost anywhere in the
world where there is a high-speed Internet connection. You can even watch and
control your VCR, DVD or DVR from the other side of the globe using SlingPlayer's
onscreen remote control.
To watch your Slingbox from afar, all you need back at home is your Slingbox,
something you want to view, and a broadband Internet connection. Your TV doesn't
even need to be on. On the road, you only need to have the SlingPlayer application
installed on your supported computer or supported mobile device (such as a supported
Macintosh, PC, or a PDA or phone with a data plan and Internet access). You'll also
need to have broadband Internet access where you are.
You don't need to bring your Slingbox with you when you travel to watch your TV,
either. Just start up the SlingPlayer application— it'll connect to your Slingbox at home,
and within a few moments, your home TV is playing on your computer or mobile
device.
