Slingbox works by connecting to your home entertainment system, like your cable box or DVR, and streaming the content over the internet to your computer, smartphone, or tablet. This allows you to watch your home TV from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.

No, a Dish SlingBox is specifically designed to work with Dish Network receivers.

How do you connect to tv via broadband?

The easy way, if I understand your question, is to use a device like Slingbox. Slingbox lets you plug cable into one port, and network on the other. you pop in an installation disk, and then you can watch cable not just on your home network, but you can stream it out to anywhere you are in the world. There are a few really hokey and bull#@^ products on the web that offer free sattelite television via the web, but they all suck. trust me I've tried. As an alternative, many of the television networks are putting their shows up online. Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, and many others have their shows up within a day or week of original air date. Many contribute to the site HULU, which is free (ad-based). hulu.com slingbox.com


How can you watch TV programs in your computer?

There exists a software called Sopcast. Using this software you can watch most of the (slightly different may the editor add) TV channels, if not all, on your computer. You should have a fast Internet connection though, so as to provide excellent streaming quality and speed, and to make it better for everyone else so you're not a leech. You can also use Slingbox Solo. The Slingbox Solo allows you to watch your favorite shows in SD quality over the internet via your desktop, laptop, Mac, or mobile phone from virtually any location. On a side note, Sopcast does not usually carry normal TV channels, but it does carry some very interesting channels like the religion-based (I think) Maria TV.
