Can the slingbox tuner hook up to the existing broadband internet line?

Matt Walsh asked:

Can i just split the connection and put on cable to my surfboard and one to the sling box? Also, would i be allowed to change the channel remotely without effecting the tv in the house?

    You can in fact split the cable and feed one to the slinbox and the other to the modem. The slingbox has it’s own tuner, so you can change the channels over the web without effecting the tv at home. The caveat is that you are unlikely to be able to watch premium or digital channels that way (if you subscribe to them) because the provider’s box is needed to decode those channels.
