Terms And Concepts Used In The Assistant; Remote Viewing - Sling Media SlingPlayer User Manual

Now that you have told the Slingbox what the source is of the video that you are going
to be playing, it now needs to know the brand and model of that device. The next two
windows ask you to do this.
The rest of the assistant walks you through completing setup. Remember to click
Continue after each choice that you make.
Important:
Make sure you specify the correct brand and model for your video source. If
you're in doubt, look on the underside of the device, or check the box that the
device came in. It's important that you enter this information correctly. Your
Slingbox uses this information to display the correct remote control for your
device (In almost all cases, it is an exact on-screen duplicate of your actual
remote control.).
Once you've finished setting up your Slingbox, if the incorrect remote control
appears onscreen, check to make sure that you told the Slingbox the correct
brand and model.

Terms and concepts used in the assistant

While running the assistant, there may be some terms and concepts that aren't
familiar to you. Don't worry. Just keep reading and we'll explain them.

Remote viewing

You do remote viewing when you watch the video device connected to your Slingbox
outside of your home network. You do this, for example, when you watch on a laptop
in a hotel room halfway around the world.
If you plan to watch your Slingbox outside of your home network, select the box on
the Remote Viewing screen during setup.
