“Sling box 500 viewing If I am watching a program using the sling box can a guest watch the same program, or a different program at the same time? Or does the system lock everyone else from using the cable at another location? If using cable company such as Charter, Comcast, or AT&T, can programs be recorded to a DVR for future viewing? If I can record programs does this lock a guest out from watching real time TV if I am watching a recorded program? Does this feature come with the cable company programs or do I need to purchase a DVR? Are you setting up a separate cable company account if having the sling box setup in someone else's home who already has cable or using their cable setup? And is a separate TV used if a separate account is used?”

I have time warner and my family uses three tablets, we do not have a limit on how many users as long as we are in range of our wifi, I have used my twc away from home service but I am limited on how many channels I could warch, also even if your recording a show, others may still view it, as long as you are in range of the wifi motel you can use as many devices as long as the motel has a good band width

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The best way to answer all your questions is to look at the slingbox like this. Picture you sitting down physically in front of the televisio, now sling whatever is on the screen to a remote location. There are no separate accounts that need to be set up. It doesn't work as a recorder, but if u have a DVR the Slingbox will allow you to utilize that DVR remotely. Remember it works as though you are sitting bisically in front of that particular television. When utilizing the Slingbox remotely it turns the television at home on and the homw screen displays what you are seeing remotely. Only one person can be logged in to one particular Slingbox out of time. You can have multiple slingboxs on the same account. In order for the guest to be able to watch what you're watching they must be physically sitting in front of the television.
