Getting Started

You're probably really excited about getting your Slingbox up and running! We're here to help.

Here's an overview of the process.

1. Unpack your Slingbox and all of its parts from the box.
2. Read the User Guide that's packed in the box. It's the best source of info for getting your Slingbox properly connected.
3. Connect the cables from your TV source.
4. Connect the network cable (the SlingLink TURBO is a great solution if your network router isn't nearby your TV).
5. Connect the IR Blaster to the Slingbox, then position it so it'll be able to send remote control signals to your TV source.
6. Connect the Slingbox power cord, then plug the power block into an AC outlet.
7. Boot up your computer, and install the SlingPlayer software.
8. SlingPlayer prompts you to configure your Slingbox; otherwise, in SlingPlayer, go to Settings > Assistant. The Slingbox Setup Assistant launches, and walks you through setting up your Slingbox. It'll only take a few minutes ... and then you'll be able to watch your TV anywhere!

Once you're all set to go, the links to the left can provide you with more info about using your Slingbox and the SlingPlayer software.
