So i know a bunch of you use SB.
Here is my setup and my hopeful intention.
I have cut the cord. I have NetFlix and Amazon Prime and a Home server which has 300 hours ripped movies.
I have experimented with an Antenna to allow watching Football on the locals. Service is spotty. (generally what I do/did is order cable (no contract) with just the basic channels Sept-Jan to watch Footbal).
I would like to have Nesn.
IF I bought a Slingbox, And installed it at a Friends/Siblings/Parents house Assuming they had Cable (including NESN) I could then watch the games Correct? I could also watch Football on the local channels from the Slingbox.
Would the tv that has the Slingbox on it (at the Friends house) Have to be tuned to Nesn? Would it "Tie up" that TV? Would I be able to change the Channel from my house?
Right now I have a Server running Windows Home Media Server, which in turn Serve 2 PS3s. The PS3s can access NF, AP or anything stored on my Server. (never tried live content from the server...)
Anyone know how Slingbox would work in this config? I suppose I could connect to it with my Server....then simply figure out a way to watch the live content via the PS3s on my TVs (???). Hell I guess I could connect to the Slingbox with the PS3 Directly. (though I detest the PS3 Browser....)
Just curious if anyone has used this type of setup.
