5 / Frequently Asked Questions
If someone is watching TV at home, can I watch something different on
Slingbox.com?
No. But, if your home TV setup allows, connect your Slingbox to a source or
set-top box that is used less often by others in the household. That way, you
are less likely to interfere with those who are watching the main TV setup.
How many viewers can connect to the same Slingbox at one time?
Only one remote viewer can be connected to a Slingbox at any given time.
As the administrator for your Slingbox, you can grant guests view-only
access to your Slingbox and take control from them at any time.
Does the TV have to be turned on at home when I watch from a remote
location?
No, the TV does not have to be on for you to watch remotely. Watching your
TV from a remote location does not turn it on at home.
Can I access and watch my TV internationally?
Yes, of course! However, the video quality is only as good as the strength of
your Internet connection.
