If you are nerd and good with JAWS it can be done. Takes time and patience. Plan ahead for this.

I own 2 Sling boxes here. Hooking them up is no issue. The Sling Player
software is used to watch/hear your set top box in another place or state or
country. You need to know how to open ports on your router. Port forwarding.
Sling tech support is no longer free. They charge a fee now so I learned to
do all this over 3 years ago. The Sling hardware box I have is the Classic
and a Sling AV unit. When you connect the Sling hardware via ethernet cable
to your router a setup screen comes up. You need to know the model of your
set top box wheter its cable box or satellite box, the connection type RCA,
S-Video, HDMI. You run some tests like to see if the IR Blaster sensor works
so the Slinbox can changed your terminal box channels. In some parts of this
setup you need to use your JAWS cursor. The recording software is made by
Applian Technologies and not by Sling Media who make the SlingBox. Sling
Media is now owned by Echostar who own Dish Network. I was asked by Applian
to test the Sling recording software over 2 years ago and it works with
JAWS. It allows you to record the signal that's coming into your Slingbox
hardware box. Can record on the fly (right now) or by timer (later time).
This recording software is called At-Large Recorder. I haven't used this
software for over 8 months now as the computer it was running died and
haven't re-installed it on the other computer I have. The makers of the
Sling box do not like users recording the tv signal. These recordings can be
shared on the internet but the video files are huge when left at default
settings.
