Can you access this across your home network? Meaning no TV or Monitor connected?

You need to connect to a tv/monitor to set it up and get the necessary info so you can access it using an app on a smartphone

Yes, it comes with a software CD that can be use o access, manage and view from your Desktop or Laptop.

Yes, but you need to have the DVR connected to your router to be able to access remotely on your tablet or phone. There is a disk that comes with the kit to help you set up remote access, and there are pretty detailed instructions on how to set up your phone or tablet in the package.

Only thing you are to connect to is the "audio" out. Not the video. Ours is connected to our cable box.Can listen without TV on.

Yes, I live where there is no computer access. Only thing is I may need a HDTV signal filter because when I turn on my new TV it causes a lot of static on the scanner to the point I have to turn the scanner off to watch TV. The scanner works great without the HDTV on. I'll call Radio Shack, maybe they can help me.

There is a driver you can download (windows 8 driver is not on the disk), but I wouldn't recommend it, as the connection is really unreliable. Take a look at TP Links instead. They have products which feed the signal through the power cables in your house, so you can essentially connect your desktop to the internet via ethernet from anywhere in the house. I had a Belkin, and it was terrible, so I bought TP Links and the connection has been vastly improved.

This one is cheap and it has no audio. I have mine plugged into the TV. I just push a button on the remote to change the input and there you go, you have video. I am not sure about connecting to a computer monitor. Maybe someone else can cover that. Have a nice day.

This thing doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to operate. You just need a TV or computer monitor. Sorry, but I don't have enough of a Geek background with this to know if it can be hooked up to any computer.

There is no hardware way to connect to external monitors. You can use software apps to connect to certain streaming devices.

I've only tried to access content via Amazon, Netflix or other streaming sites and not the internet. I don't think you can access websites unless you use the TV as just a monitor and hook it up to your computer.

Not yet, I am not able to figure out how to get the system to view from outside my network.

I don't know why people are saying you can't because you absolutely can view this video/audio feed when away from home. All you have to do is download the app, plug in some settings, and you're good to go.

I will have to check on that. I don't believe my tv has any widgets. Looks like the LAN port is just for firmware updates. Thanks for the reply.

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

I believe you are only supposed to install it on one computer, but I have not tried to do so on another. Unless you use the TV as a monitor on the computer, then no on the TV.

At a minimum, the HDTV in the other house would need to connect to the internet - wifi or ethernet connection and some form of web browser. Some "smart" TVs have these capabilities. Another option would be to use a laptop at the other house to receive the Slingbox transmission and then have the laptop video and audio output to the TV. Some laptops have HDMI connections built in or a separate adapter cable may get the job done.

I understand now. However I can not help you with a connection to a computer. I use mine only as a TV, connected to my U-verse Gateway, Apple TV, DVD player and Polk stereo system. Has worked great for me for the past several years. No experience connecting to a computer. Why would you? Great TV set but can not understand why you would want it as another monitor... Sorry!

Sorry to say this did not work with my computer and TV. All I get is the home screen from my computer, I cannot get anything else to work.
