Would this work for slingbox pro-hd? cable box hdmi-&gt;slingbox component?

theoretically yes, but i bought two of these, neither would give me video output, i had them replaced and those didn't work either. i recommend finding a multiport composite switch with hdmi out at your local electronics store. it will cost about 5 times more, but it will work and is easier to return if it doesn't.

Should be able to do it since it has a HDMI input. I'm using a component converter from my cable box as I have an older cable box that doesn't have HDMI output but I just went in and looked and it has the HDMI input as shown in the product description.

I don't know but $300 is a ripoff. As you say, no wifi or HD means this should be $150 in my opinion. Its a freakin' accessory and not a Slingbox. Bad move Sling.

It should be. It has connections for component, composite, S-video, and HDMI, almost certainly one of these will be what you cable box uses. The owner's amnual is here:http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=32PFL3506/F7

Hi- I looked in the owner's manual to see if "Optimum"is listed under Cable Boxes, it's not. If I knew who the manufacturer of their box is (may be written on the box itself), I could see if codes for that manufacturer are listed, a good indicator that it would work. Let me know and I'll look. Leigh

I don't see why it would require a router; a crossover cable to your computer's network port should work with the SlingPlayer software. Do a search on SlingCommunity.com for "crossover" or "ICS" (internet connection sharing).Keep in mind, though, that the SlingBox is not a tuner on it's own. It will only display what your TV/Cable box is outputting.

This thing is compatable with just about everything. I'm sure they have a comparability list on there site somewhere but I would give you a 100 bucks if they didn't have all comcast cable boxes on their list.

I don't know why you couldn't. I have sent my slingbox thru it to my tv with this cord.

If your cable box has HDMI output,then it should be no problem.......otherwise you can use the component outputs on the cable box.

Well on my brand of TiVo , sling box is not an option when you have to choose the cable box brand. However, why not chech TiVo on line and see if their is a code you can enter under advanced setup.

It'll support the TV it is connected to and 1 other device at a single time. Unfortunately if you are looking, for example, to watch on your computer at the airport while your wife is on her iPhone at the Dr's office, that will not work. One device can stream from the account/ slingbox at a time.

The slingbox needs video source (in) usually from your cable or satellite box. So NO, unless your tv has video (out) that can then connect to slingbox. the drawback to that would be you will need to run on your tv every time you want to use slingbox.

I doubt this will work, the Dish receiver usually won't let you do anything without active service. That being said, why not just use the tuner built in to your TV? another option would be to buy a stand alone sling box.

Yes of course, you just hook it up between your google fibre cable box and your tv. Google Fibre's cable box should have some kind of analog output otherwise you'll have to go for the Slingbox 500. If you refer to the policy in Google Fibre that you're not allowed to run a server with Google Fibre it's in my mind obvious that they mean dedicated servers and not a Slingbox. So why shouldn't it work?

It depends. If, like most people, you have the SOLO connected to your cable or satellite service then nothing will change.In the unusual situation that you are using your Slingbox SOLO to transmit broadcast signals, however (using a coaxial cable coming off of an antenna), then you are correct in saying that the SOLO will no longer work. You can still get it to work, however, by buying a digital-to-analog converter box. The Slingbox should be able to control this in the same way that it controls cable or satellite set-top boxes.

Bellin @TV will work on TV, but you will need a computer using the tv as a display.I found this device to be very unreliable, requiring constant reboots, pretty inconvenient considering it is designed to be a remote device.I currently use Slingbox and has worked flawlessly for 10months so far, with no reboots.

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.
