-
i have cable tv, i'm interested in a slingbox. my question is: can i watch my own channels if someone is watching something else with the cable box? (do i have to watch what they watch?)

Answer:
it all depends on the cable box if it is a dual tuner then yes but you will need the solo or the pro HD .if your cable box is a single tuner then no you have to watch what they are watching. A dual tuner is when the cable box goes to another tv or the same tv with PIP function and they can record two shows. at once or its quite possible to use a splitter in some areas and split the signal before it goes to the cable box and run it though the sling box and you can watch analog cable stations(clear qam) you will not get all the stations like the movie channels like HBO and so on but you will get the basic channels

If you have it hooked to the same cable box as the TV uses, no you and whoever is watching TV cannot watch different things. If that will be a regular occurrence, you need a second cable box for the exclusive use of the Slingbox.
