Question:
I have a relative that has Dish Network and he has a channel that I would like to watch every Saturday...(the channel is Worldsport-it is a Voom HD channel only offered through Dish Network)..If I get the Slingbox Media(the $150 dollar).can I watch the channel at my house on my HD television.I know i need the $250 dollar one for HD but will I be able to watch his HD channel on my TV. Its ok if the image is not HD.I just want to be able to watch the channel without having to get Dish Network plus the Brighthouse Cable that I already have(I'm in a contract with them for a year and I dont want to pay for two TV companies).
Answer:
Slingbox TV is supposedly "coming soon".
You could connect your computer to your HDTV, if you have the right connectors, I currently use my 42" 1080P HDTV for my computer monitor and HDTV, PS3 in the living room. Computer is in the cabinet below.
I don't think the slingbox will currently work without something between it and the TV.
If you want to connect your satellite then the best one would be the Slingbox Pro it allows you to connect your satellite with the adaptor the cost about $70 and connect it to your satellite via compontent or the Slingbox AV it sill allows you to connect you to connect it with your satellite too but it won't be HD and it depands the quailly will be better the higher you internet speed is and your upload speed has to be alest 325 kbps!
