Can The Slingbox Pro control a TV?

Question

I am thinking about buying the slingbox pro, but im not sure if i will be able to use it. Everything i have seen about the slingbox controlling a tv has something about a Cable Box, and i dont have that. I just have the cable plugged in directly into the Tv, so my question is will the Slingbox pro IR cable be able to control the Tv without the Cable Box?

Answer 1

I have a Slingbox Pro but can see no way for it to control a TV. It just controls boxes that you plug into it.

You might be able to do if you have video/audio output from the TV.

You would need to check your remote control is supported by Slingbox too.
