Yes, you will. When you connect to your Slingbox, you're shown an on-screen virtual remote that mirrors the look and functions of your physical remote (for most devices). So, you'll be able to turn the set-top box back on as long as the remote has a power button.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, unless power switch is turned off. Usually the Cable box just goes to sleep, and the slingbox remote will turn it on. Just like you would do to a TV.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I understand your question the answer is yes. You actually have a virtual remote control that is part of the Slingbox setup software that will allow you to turn on your cable box just like you were sitting in your home. You turn on the power and presto the video is coming to you wherever you are. when you are done you turn it off and it'll turn off the cable box back in the US. I hope that answers your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. When you access the Slingbox over the internet, you have a virtual remote control that functions just like your real remote control. If you press the "Power" button on your virtual remote, then your cable box at home will receive the "Power" command from the Slingbox, just as if it came from your real remote control at home.
