Connecting your Audio/Video source to the Slingbox

Connecting your antenna or analog cable (no cable box)

Use this setup if your TV source is antenna or analog cable only, with no cable box. Con- nect the incoming antenna or cable line to Antenna/Cable In on the Slingbox.

Adding a splitter

If the incoming antenna or cable line from the wall in your home is connected directly to your TV, you will need to use a coaxial splitter (not included) to send your TV source to your TV and to your Slingbox. See below if you have a cable modem sharing the cable line.

Using a cable modem

If you have a cable modem, you may be able to receive your basic cable channels from the same coaxial cable that supplies your Internet connection. If so, use a splitter, with one cable connected to your cable modem and one connected to the Slingbox, as shown. Be sure to connect the Slingbox to your router.

Important: You cannot use S-Video or A/V Out from the Slingbox to your TV if you use this setup.
