Can several users from different locations use slingbox and all use sling box to view the same channel ?

In general Slingbox is a peer to peer (point to point) connection such than only one connection is allowed. Sling does not stream to the internet, but streams only from point A to point B. So only one device at a time can use the Sling connection. That device may be in the next room or hundreds of miles away.

I have direct tv whole house system with dvr in each room....this allows me to access all dvr list from any room and can play any dvr in any room....If i hook a slingbox on one dvr will i still be able to access all my dvrs from that one box.

Nope. Unfortunately this box is geared to global use, not very American friendly. Showbox would be the closest app to channel surfing. Instead you should...Get a fire tv stick and run Sling TV through that for 20 dollars a month. Very worth it.

Yes it does, but the picture quality is not as good as using Slingbox! I have both and if I want to watch remotely I will always Sling. Now if you want to download and watch a show (that is not copy protected) then I'll use the Tivo app to download the show to my iPad and watch anywhere, and you don't have to worry about being on a network. Great for watching shows on a plane.

Yes the channel changes on both sides, I got another cable box just to set up a new slingbox. It is worth it.

HI, the slingbox is a great time.... I used the Slingbox when I was in Paris.... I watch the first round of the NBA finals in a Broadway theater... Just during intermittion..... Is it like being a home?.... NO.... Is it a great substitute!... Yes.... The slingbox reception all start with your home.... the faster the internet the better reception on the other end... You can call Slingbox's tech support.... they are very helpful... lot of luck....

No - however they have just started selling the slingbox adapted for the UK (including Freeview) - it seems to be availale via Dixons, Currys and PC World though. Expensive (as usual we in the UK get ripped off when kit arrives here from the US) at almost £200.

No you cannot. If you have a Tivo Premier on each set you can stream between them. If you have older pre Premier Tivos on each set you can transfer non protected programs between the Tivos. At a minimum this would be broadcast stations and uprotected cable stations. A lot depends on how much your cable provider protects. Premium stations are always protected.

The sling device uses tuner 2 on the DVR. The family at home can watch whatever they want on Tuner1, but the TV hooked up to tuner 2 will just show a notice that "this tuner is in use for remote viewing". The people at home can override the remote viewing and disconnect the user who is connected via Sling if they want.

My bill is $12 for each (rented) Hopper and $7 for each (rented) Joey. It doesn't seem like owning the devices affects that service fee.I would suggest renting 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys, pairing 1 Joey to each Hopper. It's not much of a price difference ($38 vs. $33) but you don't have everything going through 1 box so you avoid the complaints about freezing and lagging. With our system (1 Hopper with Sling, 1 Hopper, 2 Joeys) we have never had an issue.

Here's how to think about it, you are both watching the same cable/satellite device, so the answer is yes. The same is true for Slingbox.For your second question, the answer is no. I believe the content you are watching must be running in a Chromecast enabled app (e.g. Google Chrome Browser). Since Chromecast did not exist when the Monsoon client software was written, and since they have been sued out of business here in the US. I do not believe we will ever see a Chromecast enabled player from Monsoon.

Yes. They all work together since you have to pick a channel, you all just pick the same one.

The TV can be viewed while the Slingbox is in use, but the TV and Slingbox display will be the same.

I got this for my daughter and my father. She says yes you can use them all together because they have different channels. I would guess that everyone using it should be on the same channel whether it be channel 24 or channel 5 etc.

No, the slingbox will not fix any of these problems. The purpose of the slingbox is to allow you to watch your TV signal on PC's in your own home, as well as anywhere with an internet connection. For example, if you travel out of town for business, you can connect a Slingbox to your TV signal (be it antenna, cable, satellite box, etc), and with any computer, you can watch your own TV broadcasts from anywhere with internet access, so you could watch the BIG game, even though it might not be available on TV where you are traveling. Unfortunately, the Slingbox will not do anything to boost reception.
