is this compatble with a swing box?
I have a swing box and want to hook it up in a basement family room but wireless router is upstairs. Want to be able to connect to a web tv box in Florida. Is this what I am looking for?
you mean a SLING box, and yes it will work well with one...we have a HD Slingbox connected on our system. Although I think you may be a bit confused on how they all work...a Slingbox streams video, it does not receive/function like a cable box. If the FL web tv box is capable of streaming you would connect it to a router there (direct connect is best by far) and you would view content ONLINE. You could of course hook the basement TV (wherever it is, providing you have internet svc) to the computer, but with any streaming devices the service will be to the internet. You watch streamed media by going to the device's website (ie Slingbox, etc), connecting to your device, and watching/controlling there. If the FL box is not streaming capable, then you would need a Slingbox or such to stream the FL box content to wherever.
The Slingbox website would be the place to start...plenty of info
