I've been thinking about adding a slingbox to my 704 so I can easily stream to my home office PC (rather than paying for another box, which is pointless as the two units are never in use at the same time.) This seems like a smart thing to do, as it would save me cash on the recurring and give me some cool functionality (TV while traveling etc.)
I'm looking at the Sling AV w/ my DTivo, but this model doesn't have a pass through (looking at this over the original as its supposed to have a better LAN side picture). I feed my small bedroom TV via S-video.
I could do 2 things I think:
1) use a S-video splitter and pipe the analog audio to the sling. That's ok, as I use the optical out from the Dtivo to my bedroom AV receiver.
2) use the composite video output to the Sling and the S-video to the TV.
I'd think that option 1 - assuming that would work) is a better option.
Anyone ever split an S-video connection out of a Dtivo and seen it work? Or, does anyone have this model Sling hooked up w/ a TV as well?
I've asked on Sling Community- no real response yet. I figure this is just as much a Dtivo question as anything, as from the Sling side, it just needs a signal.
