How It Works

For a really thorough explanation of how the Slingbox™ system works, we recommend taking a look at Sling Media's™ website, but here are the basics:

The Slingbox™ system consists of two parts: the Slingbox™ itself (hardware connected to your DVR) and the SlingPlayer™ (software installed on your Internet-connected computer or mobile device). When properly connected and configured, this system performs two functions:

1. It converts the audio and video signals from your DirecTV™ DVR to a compressed digital data stream. This data stream can be accessed, decoded and viewed remotely from any location in the world where you have an Internet-connected PC, Mac, or compatible mobile device running the SlingPlayer™ software. The Slingbox™ system continually adapts its compression parameters to provide you the highest quality audio and video possible, based on the speed of your Internet connection

2. It provides a virtual remote control on your computer which looks just like the remote control that comes with your DVR. This virtual remote allows you to control your DVR just as if you were at home in your living room with the actual remote control in your hand.

You may choose to watch your favorite shows on your computer screen, or if your video card supports it (as most do these days), you can connect your computer to your full-size television.
