available on your Slingbox.

Description
RF/Coaxial Cable. If you have cable service or your own TV antenna, usually you'll
connect using coaxial cable (sometimes called just "coax"). Coaxial cable is easy to
spot: it has a highly-visible center wire protruding from each end, and almost always
has threaded caps at each end as well.
Composite. If you use a TiVo, or some satellite TV services, your TV probably gets its
signals via "composite" cabling that consists of three separate cables, one cable
with a red connector, one with a white connector, and one with a yellow connector.
All you have to do to connect composite cable wiring is press the connections firmly
in place.
S-video. Costlier video equipment often uses this kind of cabling.
S-video cables have multi-pin connectors. Since they carry no sound, they are used
in conjunction with red and white audio cables, as shown (The diagram shows a
composite cable being used with S-video. The yellow connector is not used).
